Spiralling COVID Cases & Dried-up State Coffers, Tamil Nadu CM Stalin Won’t Find the Going Easy
News 18The spiralling COVID-19 cases and the dried-up state coffers, besides a host of lesser evils, will make sure that the new government is on its trembling toes even before its chief minister M.K. Stalin, in fact, has already got down to real business when he held an ‘informal’ meeting with top state officials, including chief secretary Rajeev Ranjan, at his residence on Monday to discuss the COVID crisis. Stalin showed political maturity while responding to the outgoing CM Palaniswami’s congratulatory tweet by inviting him to working together for the welfare of the people of Tamil Nadu. Well, he had a tight leash over his party functionaries and family members the last time he was at the State Secretariat, as the deputy chief minister of Tamil Nadu.
