This episode of 'Super Six' covers the latest political developments in Tamil Nadu ahead of the assembly elections. Actor-turned-politician Vijay's Karaikudi rally witnessed massive chaos after he attempted to cycle through a surging crowd, resulting in his speech being cancelled. Adding to his woes, his unreleased film 'Jana Nayakan' was leaked online, prompting his party, TVK, to accuse the DMK and BJP of a deliberate conspiracy. Meanwhile, the language debate intensified as State Education Minister Anbil Mahesh defended the two-language policy, stating, 'Tamil is for our root and English is for the global reach.' In an exclusive interview, Union Minister Piyush Goyal launched a scathing attack on the ruling DMK, calling it 'one of the most corrupt governments that India has ever seen'. Goyal expressed confidence in the AIADMK-led NDA alliance under Edappadi Palaniswami, dismissing Vijay's political impact by comparing him to past actors who failed to replicate the success of veterans like MGR and Jayalalithaa.
West Bengal Governor RN Ravi has dissolved the state legislative assembly with effect from May 7 after completion of its term. With this, Mamata Banerjee, who refused to resign after TMC's debacle in the assembly poll, is no longer the chief minister.
Days after Congress severed its long-standing alliance with DMK to extend conditional support to the TVK, the DMK passed a resolution condemning the grand old party for betrayal and said the 'INDIA bloc is gone'.
