Minister joins issue with Palaniswami

Thangam Thennarasu rebuts former CM’s charges over law and order situation in T.N.
Minister for Industries Thangam Thennarasu on Wednesday rejected the allegations made by AIADMK leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami during his meeting with Governor R.N. Ravi in the Raj Bhavan.
Addressing reporters in Anna Arivalayam, Mr. Thennarasu charged that there was some other reason behind Mr. Palaniswami’s meeting with the Governor. It may be over the differences between various factions of the AIADMK, the Minister said.
Mr. Thennarasu also rejected the charges made by Mr. Palaniswami over the law and order situation in Tamil Nadu contending that the AIADMK did not have any moral high ground to talk about it when the police firing killing 13 people in Thoothukudi was reported during its rule.
The Minister also charged that Mr. Palaniswami was being used as a tool to divert attention from the intra-party differences in the BJP.

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.
