PMK youth wing leader Anbumani Ramadoss on Friday urged voters to choose Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami who, according to him, is a “farmer” and not “proprietors” sitting inside air-conditioned rooms. Canvassing votes for AIADMK Minister and Arni candidate Sevoor S. Ramachandran, he said DMK leader M.K. Stalin had no connection with farming and farmers, unlike Mr. Palaniswami who can drive a tractor himself and is an approachable person. “It is my political goal to develop all backward communities,” the PMK leader said. The statement was made against the backdrop of the 10.5% internal reservation granted for Vanniyars within the MBC quota.![](/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.
