The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam was not interested to come to power in Puducherry “through the backdoor”, party leader in the Legislative Assembly R. Siva said on Friday. Mr. Siva in a statement said the criticism against the party by the National Democratic Alliance [that it was trying to come to power through the backdoor] was unfounded as the crisis in the NDA was its own making. The DMK was not responsible for the crisis faced by the NDA, he added. Almost a week had passed since N. Rangasamy took over as the Chief Minister of the Union Territory. People are unaware whether the Chief Minister would have a Deputy and about the ministerial positions, he said.![](/newspic/picid-1269750-20250217064624.jpg)
When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
