we-stood-by-them-in-difficult-times-dmk-congress-feud-escalates-after-alliance-breakup-in-tamil-nadu
The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the Congress, allies until a month ago, are now engaged in a bitter war of words after the Congress quit the alliance and backed actor-politician C. Joseph Vijay in forming the government in Tamil Nadu. The latest flashpoint came on Sunday when DMK Youth Wing secretary Udhayanidhi Stalin accused the Congress of stabbing the party in the back and urged cadres never to trust the national party again. For over 20 years, the Congress party rode on our backs. Today, they have stabbed us in the back. No one should ever forget this. We must never trust the Congress at any point in the future, nor should we ever let them come near us again, Udhayanidhi said while addressing a DMK Youth Wing meeting in Chennai. The Congress hit back, saying it had always stood by the DMK during difficult times. We waited outside when they had a minority, Congress leader Manickam Tagore told ANI. The Congress, which won five seats in the Assembly elections, quickly extended support to Vijays Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), which secured 208 seats ten short of a majority. Vijay eventually formed the government with the backing of the Muslim League, CPI, CPI(M) and the VCK, all former DMK allies. Notably, barring the Congress, all these parties reportedly backed Vijay after consulting DMK president M. K. Stalin, who was said to be keen on avoiding immediate political instability and the possibility of a re-election. However, subsequent remarks by several DMK leaders, including Stalin himself, suggest that the Dravidian major expects the Vijay government to collapse in the near future. Launching a sharp attack on the Congress, Udhayanidhi blamed the party rather than the BJP leadership for the saffron party's consecutive national election victories. He also said DMK workers had shed blood and sweat to secure Congress victories in the state, primarily to protect secularism and keep the BJP out of Tamil Nadu. Even in this election, a virtually non-existent Congress managed to win five seats solely because of our leaders instructions and the tireless work of DMK cadres. But immediately after winning, they ran away for the sake of power, without even the courtesy of informing us, he alleged. Calling Udhayanidhis remarks unacceptable, Tagore said the Congress had always stood with the secular alliance. The BJP was trying to broker ties between the DMK and AIADMK, which goes against our principles. Any understanding with the BJP will not be tolerated by the Congress, he said.

Born Into Cricket, Calm Under Pressure, 17-year-old Kerala Girl Steps Into Umpire's Coat
Trichur District Cricket Association EC: When 17-year-old Namrata Vinoth walks into the Athreya Cricket Ground in Kerala's Thrissur on Sunday morning, it will not just be another local cricket match. For the teenager with cricket running deep through her veins, it will mark the beginning of a brand new journey, as a cricket umpire. Namrata will officiate in her 'debut' match between the Trichur District Cricket Association EC Committee/Selectors and the Palakkad District Association EC Committee/Selectors, after clearing the written examination in umpiring. For most teenagers, such a moment could be nerve-racking. But Namrata appears remarkably unruffled. What's the big deal? she asks with a laugh. I know being tense only complicates things. I prefer to stay cool and calm so I can perform better. My mother's feelings are understandable. Her mother, however, admits she is far from calm. Yes, I'm a bit tense because I know what happens in a cricket match, says Niketha with a smile. Perhaps Namrata is too young to fully realise what a real match situation can be like. One thing that makes me happy is that she isn't nervous. Niketha knows the pressures of cricket better than most. A former Kerala women's cricketer, she later rose to become Chairperson of the Kerala Women's Selection Committee and also led the South Zone selection panel. The cricketing pedigree in the family does not end there. Namrata's aunt, Vilasini Nair, her father's sister, also played for Kerala and now serves as a Southern Railway coach-cum-player, besides being a member of the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association selection committee. Yet, despite the formidable cricketing lineage surrounding her, Namrata carries none of the weight of expectation. Friends describe her as cheerful and carefree, someone equally at ease on stage as on the cricket field. Yet, despite the formidable cricketing lineage surrounding her, Namrata carries none of the weight of expectation. Also Read: Live Cricket Score But this time, the applause will give way to appeals, close calls and raised voices and right in the middle of it all will stand a composed teenager quietly beginning her own chapter in Kerala cricket.
