2026 TN elections | Ask Centre to pass women's quota without conditions ... CHENNAI:Chief Minister and DMK president MK Stalin on Saturday challenged the Leader of Opposition Edappadi K Palaniswami to press the Union government to implement the women's reservation law without conditions.

Stalin on Monday launched a sharp attack on the BJP-led Central government, accusing it of systematically dismantling the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), a flagship programme that has played a key role in rural poverty alleviation across India.

The Chief Minister also expressed serious concern over proposed changes to the funding pa…
