Stalin accuses Centre of bias: Ahead of PM Modi’s visit to Tamil Nadu, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin criticised the Centre for denying Metro rail projects to Madurai and Coimbatore, calling the decision “political revenge” against a state governed by an Opposition party. He accused the BJP-led government of approving Metros for smaller Tier-II cities in BJP-ruled states while ignoring Tamil Nadu, calling it a distortion of federal principles. Stalin also wrote an open letter to the PM seeking urgent support for the state’s bumper harvest and monsoon-related needs ahead of Modi’s Coimbatore visit. Meanwhile, the Tamil Nadu BJP launched the “#VanakkamModi” campaign, calling him “a true friend of every farmer.”

PM Modi Tamil Nadu Visit LIVE Updates: India on path of becoming global hub of organic farming:, says PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said India is on the path of becoming the global hub of organic farming, and asserted that it is native and traditional to the nation.

The youth are increasingly recognising agriculture as a modern and scalable opportunity and this will greatly empower the rural economy, he said inaugurating here the South India Natural Farming Summit 2025 and also an exhibition.

Fresh from his NDA's stunning victory in Bihar, Modi quipped, citing the audience waving their 'gamcha' (towel) upon his arrival, that it looked like "Bihar winds" had arrived in Tamil Nadu before him.

Incidentally, the AIADMK-led NDA in Tamil Nadu will be taking on the ruling DMK-led coalition in the Assembly polls next year and the opposition alliance is making a fervent bid to unseat the M K Stalin-led dispensation.

On the occasion, the PM released the 21st instalment of PM-KISAN, amounting to more than Rs 18,000 crore to support nine crore farmers across the country. He confirmed that lakhs of farmers in Tamil Nadu have also received funds in their accounts.

Modi highlighted that under this scheme, Rs 4 lakh crore has been directly transferred to the bank accounts of small farmers so far, enabling them to meet various agricultural needs.
