Tamil Nadu Minister Clarifies Legal Action Limits, Highlights Temple Welfare Initiatives
Tamil Nadu's HR CE Minister S Ramesh stated that legal action targets only vulgar, defamatory remarks against leaders, not constructive political criticism. He highlighted improvements in temple management, including direct prasadam preparation at over 35 temples, expanded welfare schemes, and technology initiatives like online darshan booking. The minister also criticized the previous administration for a backlog of over Rs 400 crore in unpaid construction dues, emphasizing the current government's focus on essential pilgrim amenities and infrastructure maintenance amid monsoon challenges.
