Tue Apr 29 17:10:04 UTC 2025: ## Tamil Nadu CM Sparks Laughter, Then Unity, in Assembly
**Chennai, April 29, 2025** – A lively exchange in the Tamil Nadu Assembly today saw Chief Minister M.K. Stalin playfully defend his description of the previous AIADMK administration’s pace as “slow,” suggesting “crawl” as an alternative. The comment, initially objected to by AIADMK’s deputy floor leader R.B. Udhayakumar, was ultimately deemed acceptable by the Chair.
Despite the brief parliamentary sparring, the session concluded on a conciliatory note. Following the adjournment, CM Stalin extended greetings and handshakes to opposition legislators from various parties, including Mr. Udhayakumar, former CM O. Panneerselvam, and representatives from the Congress, PMK, VCK, and CPI(M). This gesture of unity followed the earlier light-hearted debate.
