Tamil Nadu’s Leader of Opposition and AIADMK co-coordintor, Edappadi K. Palaniswami, on Wednesday, called on Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi and submitted a petition, alleging malpractices in the recently-concluded local body elections in nine districts.
Speaking to reporters, he alleged that the Tamil Nadu State Election Commission (SEC) had failed to conduct the elections in a transparent and independent manner and had acted as a mere puppet in the hands of the ruling party.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
