I don't understand why Hosur has become the site for TN's latest international airport. It should have been Coimbatore. Already, Covai is losing out to Kochi. In addition, Hosur, given it proximity to B'luru, may be less preferred.

தனக்கு ஹிந்தி அதிகம் தெரியாததினால், பிரதமாராக முடியவில்லை என நேற்று இறந்த முன்னாள் ஜனாதிபதி பிரணாப் முகர்ஜி கருதியதாக இன்றைய செய்திதாள்களில் எழுதப்பட்டுள்ளது. அது மட்டுமே தகுதியல்ல என்பதையும் நினைவில் கொள்ளவேண்டும். ஜெயலலிதா பல மொழிகளில் நன்கு பேசக்கூடியவர். 1/8

@sumanthraman What has happened to the data of 2010-11 Caste Census, also known as Socio-Economic and Caste Census (SECC), 2011? Why is it that the report is yet to be released? Why Karnataka, which carried out its own caste census in 2015-16 at ₹ 162 crore, didn't release its report?
