In a statement, Ramadoss praised the initial steps taken by the new administration and emphasised that strict enforcement is crucial to prevent these rules from becoming mere "paper decrees."

Newly sworn-in Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay initiated a shift in political civility by visiting DMK president M K Stalin and other opposition leaders at their homes. This gesture of political courtesy, a first since 1967, aimed to foster cooperation across party lines after a campaign focused on change.

The assaulted man has been identified as Suresh Kumar, 47, of Denishpet, who contested in the Omalur constituency as an independent candidate in the April 23 assembly election with the support of the Ramadoss faction of PMK.

A faction of AIADMK, led by S.P. Velumani and C.V. Shanmugam, has announced support for Chief Minister Vijay's TVK government ahead of a crucial floor test. This move comes amid internal rifts within AIADMK over potential alliances, with the faction opposing any tie-up with DMK. Vijay is working to secure the required majority with support from various parties.

In a strategic move, Congress has extended a conditional olive branch to C Joseph Vijay's TVK party, which is just 10 seats shy of securing the reins of power in Tamil Nadu. This support is contingent upon TVK distancing itself from communal forces within the NDA.

Asserting his authority over the faction he heads, Ramadoss says he still controlled OMK and, if necessary, will pass on control to his daughter, with his grandson supporting her in managing party affairs.

Ramadoss fainted during a campaign in Salem on Sunday (April 12) and was admitted to Apollo Hospitals. He was discharged on Thursday.
