Stalin on Wednesday (November 19, 2025) accused the BJP government at the Centre of denying Metro Rail projects for Madurai and Coimbatore on flimsy grounds. In a post on X, he said, “The Union BJP government has denied Metro Rail for ‘Temple City’ Madurai and for ‘South India’s Manchester’, Coimbatore, on flimsy grounds. A government exists to serve people without bias. Yet the Union BJP treats Tamil Nadu’s democratic choice as a reason to take revenge.” Mr. Stalin said pushing such a political custom, in which BJP-ruled States get Metros for smaller Tier II cities while opposition-ruled States are deprived, is a disgraceful approach. “Tamil Nadu, the land of Self-Respect, will never accept such a distortion of federal principles,” he added. “They [Centre] attempted to stall the Chennai Metro, and we overcame those malicious attempts and kept the project progressing. With the same determination, we will secure the Metro Rail that Madurai and Coimbatore need for their future …

An association of drawing and sports teachers has written to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis as well as school education minister Dada Bhuse demanding that this clause in the new rules of sanctioning teaching and non-teaching posts in government-run or aided schools should be reviewed and drawing teachers should be considered at par with sports teachers, which have one sanctioned post for every 250 students. State Vice-President of the association Kiran Sarode, said: “Art is as important as sports education. Yet, there are two different rules for the two. Schools having 250 students will get a sports teacher but for drawing teachers, a school has to have a minimum of 500 students. If this comes into effect, a majority of schools in rural parts of Maharashtra will not have drawing …
