"Targeting One Party...": Supreme Court Junks Tamil MP's Plea, Fines Rs 10 Lakh
In a big win for Tamil Nadu's ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, the Supreme Court Wednesday afternoon set aside a Madras High Court interim order barring the use of Chief Minister MK Stalin's name to launch welfare schemes launched and run by his administration.
The ruling is significant because Tamil Nadu will hold an Assembly election next year, with the ruling DMK and its ally, the Congress, pitted against its arch-rival, the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and its found-again partner, the Bharatiya Janata Party.
