Tamil Nadu CM Visits Electricity Board Amid Office Renovation Row
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin made a surprise visit to the Electricity Board headquarters in Tamil Nadu. The visit is reportedly to secure approval for 600 new substations. This comes amid a political controversy over the renovation of the Chief Minister's office, with AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami criticizing the expenditure. Palaniswami referred to Stalin as a 'luxury chief minister' and questioned the need for the renovation, citing the state's debt burden and alleging the project cost ₹1,200 crore.
