The public largely supports the Madras High Court's ruling, viewing it as a positive move towards diminishing political corruption and fostering transparency in government welfare schemes. While the ruling is celebrated, there are underlying concerns about genuine reform implementation, highlighting skepticism over political motivations.

Who's naming all these tamil names for schemes i like it

How are a number of these welfare schemes? Like Nilgiri Tahr project, Green TN mission, Dashboard monitoring system to name a few. 

And listing schemes alone isn't enough, budget, execution and outcomes matter. Like nutritional allowance scheme, mannuyir kaathu mannuyir kappom, agal vilakku thittam and more.

not only does opposition have nothing  REFORMATIVE WITH FORESIGHT  to list as welfare for tn ppl , but on top of it they have d audacity to engage in criminal ,corrupt activities..

 plz note :- During jaya's terms (2002- 2006), the Jayalalithaa government filed almost 120 criminal defamation cases against the media &amp; in her last term, she filed more than 200 defamation cases in just 2016 tenure against opponents and journalists, sometimes for merely reporting criticism of her policies.200+ cases every tenure...
 so below are the reports which survived to get reported.... meaning crimes were "UNDER-REPORTED" during her 3 continouous terms...she controlled so much that Subramanian Swamy had  to file a case against her in KARNATAKA,fearing her control in tn..eventually making her the FIRST sitting cm to go to be convicted in corruption.... https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/DA-case-Swamy-the-man-who-lodged-the-complaint/article17300736.ece

**Tasmac Thittam**

TASMAC was established in 1983 by then Chief Minister M.G.Ramachandran..Soon after Jayalalithaa took over as chief minister, all liquor shops were taken over by the government run Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corpora tion (Tasmac), and Tasmac liquor re tail shops were opened at several places.

On October 30, 2015, police arrested Kovan alias Sivadas, a folk singer and a member of extreme Left group Makkal Kalai Iyakkam, who was criticizing government’s way of earning revenue by selling liquor. He was slapped with sedition charges claiming that his songs were anti-state and criticized Ms. Jayalalithaa.   [this is how most complaints against liquour during admk rule was silenced]

Fifty-nine year old Gandhian and anti-liquor activist Sasi Perumal joined their protest, which went to 1000th day on June 30, 2015. During the protest on July 31, Perumal climbed a mobile phone tower and began losing his consciousness in the high altitude and was rescued and rushed to a government hospital, where he breathed his last. Following his death, protests erupted across the state targeting TASMAC outlets.

In August 2015, residents of Kalingapatti, a village in Tirunelveli district, tried to lock down a TASMAC outlet functioning there.. When protestors tried to ransack the outlet, police resorted to lathi-charge and fired tear gas. The Kalingapatti Panchayat earlier passed a resolution demanding the closure of the liquor shop. Workers of the VCK, an ally of MDMK, too joined in later.

**neet introduction in tamil nadu**

eps secretly kept the ANTI-NEET bill BEING REJECTED news(NO PROOF OF ASSEMBLY DISCUSSIONS ON central government’s rejection of the NEET exemption bills before the NEET exam on May 7, 2017. This suggests that EPS and the AIADMK government deliberately withheld this information, allowing NEET to be implemented without legislative oversight or public debate in the Assembly.) and hence neet exam &amp; its marks getting considered for admission first happened in 2017 under admk eps... now they create an illusion like they had nothing to do with neet and on march 2025 have eevn joined neet forcing party bjp, shamelessly... 

**NO DATA - A POLITICAL TECHNIQUE OF ADMK**

jaya survived with "no data" tactics like modi which she achieved by dafamation cases ...During her previous term (2002- 2006), the Jayalalithaa government filed almost 120 criminal defamation cases against the media..She also famously  filed more than 200 defamation cases in just 2016 tenure against opponents and journalists, sometimes for merely reporting criticism of her policies.200+ cases every tenure... https://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-news-india/jayalalithaa-defamation-case-tamil-nadu-supreme-court-vijayakanth-2993641/   u cant even criticize her government &amp; newspapers cant report it... so ppl when looking back at History will think oh everything was fine during admk while actively NOT reporting the OBVIOUS FLAWS..

### IF NUMBERS WERE TRUE

SO MUCH UNDER-REPORTING ,classifying liquour deaths as accidental etc, using police force to deny hooch death in 2014 ,etc.... **if numbers about lower msidoings really true , arrests should have increased... but arrests  counts were same as dmk period... which means ppl who earlier caused issues ,suddenly became sanyasis and saints under admk,so they didnt even have to be arrested...**


**IF AND if numbers were TRUE, how come so MANY convicted corruption cases like party lleader jayalalitha getting arrested and so many defamation criminal cases TO MUTE OPPOSITION OR REPORTING under admk rule??... why so many convictions like party lleader jayalalitha getting arrested for a "clean on paper admk party" ??  
only brain dead ppl will look past these logical discrepancies...**

Brother ! 

Calling you as IT cell, Upee doesn't make sense. Next year election varudhu, it is time to list down the achievements of DMK to seek votes and it's again the responsibility of those against to counter them with arguments. Normal arasiyal process and that's ok.

I went through your profile for your other comments before deciding to engage and get your view. Mainly the one about quran and how it is misinterpreted.

Government project kaaga land acquire panradhu ok, can't do anything about it, but aalum katchi kaaranga nu land adichu / less money kudthu bulk registration panradhuku ena vazhi.

I wouldn't say that this is happening only in the DMK period. Enaku thernjavanga affect aanadhu indha time la adhaan kekren. They do not have the time or energy or years to fight back. 

The easiest way to answer this is by saying that this didn't happen, give proof. I can't. Idella nadakradhe illa nu solirunga, I'll upvote you and drop this conversation. If you think otherwise, idhuku ena panalaam as a DMK supporter nu solunga please. As a near neutral guy, I had immense respect for ptr and a few others in DMK, but it doesn't look like there's a lot of changes.

What the fu*k is kutty kavalar scheme for? You have to educate the owners of motor vehicles on road safety. That is why you have driving and written tests before getting a license. A pedestrian, particularly children can't be expected to know or follow the road rules. That is why the onus is on motor vehicles. 

Enforce road rules strictly. You won't have to educate children.

Shrugs shoulders. Of course they lost that case as they have no right for vat exemption for a paid service. The charity status thing was so bollocks.

And yet you get all this media coverage of feigned outrage at people being taxed like everybody else.

MrPloppyHead

Private schools have lost their[ High Court challenge](https://inews.co.uk/news/hike-private-school-fees-threat-human-rights-lawyers-think-so-3613947?srsltid=AfmBOor6phDdCprf0-Y_-UAXFpFqVBLyEeMA1s7Y5gFc8A4rDo_vM48J&amp;ico=in-line_link) over Labour’s decision to levy VAT on school fees.

The judiciary published its decision on Friday morning, stating that the claim has been dismissed because the court felt it was unable to interfere with decisions made by Parliament.

Dame Victoria Sharp, Lord Justice Newey and Mr Justice Chamberlain said in a 94-page decision that while the legislation does interfere with some of the group’s human rights, there is a “broad margin of discretion in deciding how to balance the interests of those adversely affected by the policy against the interests of others who may gain from public provision funded by the money it will raise”.

The private schools’ legal team told *The i Paper* that the claimants are “carefully considering the judgment” and will decide over the next week whether to launch an appeal.

The Independent Schools Council (ISC), which brought the original claim, said it would continue to hold the Government to account over the “negative impact this tax on education is having across independent and state schools” and is considering the next steps.

The court heard in April that the Government’s policy of introducing 20 per cent VAT on private schools is “discriminatory”.

Prominent advocate Lord Pannick KC – Boris Johnson’s Partygate barrister – led the private schools case against Chancellor Rachel Reeves, the formal defendant in the case.

The ISC’s legal challenge argued that the [VAT raid on school fees](https://inews.co.uk/news/labour-vat-policy-kids-out-private-schools-3352929?srsltid=AfmBOooMiFM_aThfxkJjD6zHGfpui2CFLNcx-F_ef97MjHljBaE0XJ3p&amp;ico=in-line_link) disproportionately affects lower-income families that send their children to private schools because there are no appropriate state options.

This includes children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) who are caught up in [huge backlogs](https://inews.co.uk/news/private-school-vat-fees-send-funding-requests-parents-3339558?srsltid=AfmBOooed8a2G9auGPd2vWY4EqwSV-0eh9HsqHzuX5wHID2HBxlFyfyV&amp;ico=in-line_link) for council-funded support, or children from religious backgrounds who wish to attend local faith schools.

The High Court was told that the policy also affects vulnerable children at single-sex schools who are there due to previous abuse, or children at bilingual schools who are temporarily in the UK and need to be educated in line with their home national curriculum.

Two subsequent claims brought by a parent-led group called Education Not Discrimination and Christian faith schools were heard at the same time.

Bruno Quintavalle, representing four small Christian schools and parents who have sent their children to them, also previously said the “ill-thought-out proposal introduced in haste” placed parents in “impossible positions”.

Reeves, along with HMRC and the Department for Education (DfE), defended the policy on the basis that [raising taxes for state services](https://inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyle/teachers-private-school-fees-vat-vital-broken-state-education-3490825?srsltid=AfmBOooBeuhxUf53C2diPBsvYRYmySFcKvQZvzmx-W7umsIBp_UaUZAM&amp;ico=in-line_link) is a legitimate aim.

Sir James Eadie KC, representing the Government, said abolishing the VAT exemption for private school fees was a prominent feature of Labour’s manifesto at the last general election and is expected to yield between £1.5 and £1.7 billion per year.

theipaper

From the examples given there's only one group I feel have legitimate concerns, but even then I still believe they should be subject to VAT. 

&gt;This includes children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) who are caught up in [huge backlogs](https://inews.co.uk/news/private-school-vat-fees-send-funding-requests-parents-3339558?srsltid=AfmBOooed8a2G9auGPd2vWY4EqwSV-0eh9HsqHzuX5wHID2HBxlFyfyV&amp;ico=in-line_link) for council-funded support

For children in the UK temporarily, wanting religious schools, or wanting single sex schools I just don't think any of those are good enough reasons to pass the cost of these schools on to the taxpayer. Private education is a luxury, even in the instances of children with SEND. I'm very sorry that private education is now unaffordable for some, but welcome to the real world where that's the reality for 94% of children.

leahcar83

Sad for them to have to take an average of £3k pocket money from Tarquin each year to cover this unjust and discriminatory tax on a luxury item. That awful government moving them ever closer to contact with great unwashed. Shame upon them

derrenbrownisawizard

I feel that those arguing based on SEND provision should be calling for more state provision rather than private provision being cheaper.

Just replicate the MRP shops model used in Karnataka and we'll be good. As a social alcoholic, I hate going to tasmac to buy alcohol and would rather go and buy from Bengaluru, it's expensive yes but at least I'm not getting shitty quality and the experience is very pleasant tbh. 

Tasmac tried to be upscale, having shops in malls but it's still bad compared to an average shopping experience at a Karnataka MRP shop.

Don't think this post will get a response from DMK people, just like every other party supporters across reddit for the dubakoor moments of their parties. 

I've seen savukku and maridhas videos on this. Could you help me with the channel names having more "informative" and less mudslinging videos about this scam ?

As far as I can tell, this might not stick for long or go until the first family. It will be a topic for a few weeks like ponmudi or kathir and a new topic would come up.

For DMK supporters unless the supreme court order confirms the same ….they can/ have funds to run a forever legal court battle….evidently in the history of the DMK you never can see a politician going behind bars permanently. The allegations will forever be allegations or will be proved wrong like the same way they proved 2g and 3g scams are not real……..

As long as transport, healthcare, education and job opportunities are on the rise, most of us don't care about tasmac scams. So don't be afraid to go to jail for a few years. Don't be scared of ED.

DMK = BJP. It’s not an apples to apples comparison. But if one is worse in a way, the other is even worst in another way.

Spiritual_Draw_1869

I know for a fact that this is just a political play by the central government. They won't take forward any corruption charges against any political parties in India. This will make dmk look bad in the short run but the way in which these political actions are taken by any party in India just fools every day people. The central government knows if they take forward any corruption charges, they also have skeletons in the closet that the opposition can use. 

I just hate every political party and politicians.

Where's the scam....

MathematicianTiny575

Was Vyapam scam covered by national media? Are BJP scams acknowledged by BJP supporters?

This goes to the point I make repeatedly on this sub. DMK is a ditto copy of BJP. They control the media like BJP does. The IT cell is just as hostile like BJP. 

DMK = BJP. 

To predict how upis will react is easy. The points will be - no better opposition party, fearmonger over North Indians ("Hindus are in danger" for BJP), point to economic growth and this will all be forgotten. This sub has already forgotten all the scams that have come out under DMK already. This will be the same.

UlagamOruvannuka

Its not like the scam was on arisi or paruppu.

StationItchy7803

Modi does scam with Adani. Entire GST goes to Adani and Ambani.

  
Even then UP people come to Tamilnadu for work. Our CM takes care fo them. Also our CM has started a satellite service. Space org. It needs money. Thatw why TASMAC is used. This is money management. Thats why, Stalin is the world's best CM.

The timing obviously makes it seem good for Trump, but these injunctions have been used over and over again to stop democratic policies too, especially via judge shopping in friendly districts.

Haunting-Detail2025

Maybe now congress will start doing its job.

Komosion

So the alternative route is a class action. 

This burdens plaintiffs. Judges can't issue nationwide injunctions, but a class has to throw out a nationwide net, not to mention the cost. 

How is this supposed to work for egregious EOs that very clearly trample on rights?

ChanceArtichoke4534

It imperils the injunctions, but it doesn't stop any of the lawsuits from proceeding and still striking down the laws they're challenging to my knowledge.

Of course, the ability for the government to now keep pushing a policy against every person who doesn't bring a lawsuit means they can proceed to move fast and break things at an even greater pace. It will be the epitome of better to ask forgiveness than permission. And boy oh boy will they get a lot of forgiveness if this court's current trend is anything to go by.

Maladal

the lower 600 or 700 district judge simply need to certify class actions if they think it is appropriate. rule 23b guides them.

no longer will universal injunctions be allowed based simply on 1 of 700 districts judges opinions. They will need to use the class certificatiion process.

This also prevents filing in multiple districts. once that class is certified, that district and circuit have control for the class

previously they could shop around and have multiple judges injunct As a way to delay the order or law

SerendipitySue

Nationwide injunctions have also been widely abused to thwart Democratic policies (e.g. mifepristone authorization, emergency abortion care, contraceptive coverage, LGBT protections, and DACA expansion). It got particularly bad with conservative groups specifically suing in Amarillo to get Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk. This ruling shuts down those injunctions too.

WallabyBubbly

With how polarized politics has become, and how the judiciary has lost impartiality and become split between ideological conservatives and ideological liberals, this just makes sense. A lower court ruling isn't always going to matter for much, especially when different lower courts in different judicial districts may hand down very different rulings. Ultimately it will be up to the scotus to provide guidance, either by taking up appeals cases itself or by refusing to do so, at which point we will have more knowledge of what will happen

The lower courts have abused the power of injunctions, issuing them too readily when it's clear that the scotus will likely rule otherwise on various things, perhaps in an attempt to Resist and make things as difficult for Trump as possible. There's some situations (like birthright citizenship ironically) where the injunctions make sense and the Trump admin really doesn't have any leg to stand on - but since the lower courts have abused their powers, it's necessary to take it away from them and consolidate that power with the higher court instead

If Dems want to stop the policies Trump is doing, they should try getting better at winning elections in the areas that matter, even if that requires some pivots and triangulations that make the base angry

Okbuddyliberals

I blame the dems for this, It was obvious the they were abusing the court system by judge shopping to go after Trump for every single thing he did instead of choosing their battles.

azriel777

The Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling limits district judges’ ability to issue nationwide injunctions, a decision that strengthens democratic processes by curbing judicial overreach. Previously, individual judges could halt executive policies nationwide, often delaying or blocking the will of the elected administration, as seen in challenges to President Trump’s agenda, including his birthright citizenship order. The ruling, authored by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, restricts injunctions to specific plaintiffs, ensuring courts address only the cases before them. This promotes democracy by reinforcing the separation of powers, preventing single judges from overriding the executive branch’s mandate from voters. Critics, including dissenting liberal justices, argue this could weaken judicial checks on unconstitutional actions, but supporters, including Trump, view it as a victory for the rule of law. The decision encourages class-action lawsuits for broader relief, maintaining judicial oversight while respecting the electorate’s choice, thus fostering a more balanced democratic system.

Is this a win for democracy in that the nation voted for President Trump's agenda and not for any district judge attempting to thwart it? What will be the ultimate ruling on birthright citizenship?

Maybe we should have an equal amount of difficulty in putting an injuction in place as there is difficulty in passing the law and/or order. Aka executive orders are easily drafted so there can easily be an injunction by a local court (even nationwide). Laws on the other hand (because they are passed and have a lot of backing by multiple parties) require stricter scrutiny and cannot have a nationwide injunction against them so easily. It makes sense to me.
