Tamil Nadu's political battle has intensified after DMK MLA Udhayanidhi Stalin's arrest over his controversial remarks involving actor Trisha. Udhayanidhi has accused Chief Minister Vijay-led TVK government of political vendetta, calling the arrest a diversionary tactic and branding the government a "circus" driven by "fake news and reels." As the Tamil Nadu Assembly's budget session begins, a stormy showdown is expected with both the Trisha controversy and the Cauvery water dispute dominating proceedings.
