Now comes the second PR event, where our CBN uncle says he will give cash incentives for babies — ₹30,000 if a couple gives birth to a third child, and ₹40,000 if they have a fourth child. Not sure what the actual intention behind this is, but it definitely sends the wrong signals. AP is already struggling with massive unemployment. Even today, people are migrating to other states and countries in search of jobs and better opportunities. On top of that, the cost of living, education, and healthcare has become unaffordable for middle-class and educated families. That is exactly why many families are consciously choosing to have only one child. It is not because they don’t want children, but because raising multiple children has become financially burdensome in the current situation. Without addressing key problems like: - Free and quality education for all children - Affordable or free healthcare - Employment opportunities - Better wages and economic stability …how will a “cash for babies” scheme actually solve anything? Giving ₹30,000 or ₹40,000 may work well for publicity and headlines, but raising a child requires long-term financial security, not temporary incentives. Publicity is easy. Governance requires deeper thinking. @JaganannaCNCTS @molakalaravi @bro_letstalk @ReddyGives @StrictlyAsking @tollywood @Telugufeedsite @UttarandhraNow @DrPradeepChinta @VoicesOfAndhra @ysj_45 @rj_4_all @YSRCPEurope @YSRCParty @Amigo9666 @Manju_manchiDIL @YSRCPResurgence @vibeofswetha @YSJ_Insights @Samotimes2026 @YSJ2024 @telugupodcaste

DMK functionaries have been posting about the reasons for the defeat. Among them, these are the points I found most reasonable. This is not my personal opinion. I have compiled these from posts made by long-time DMK supporters and grassroots workers. (Top 10) 1) Before the election, the DMK Youth Wing organized 7 conferences. In one of them alone, they claimed that 1.5 lakh people participated. If the Youth Wing truly has over 10 lakh members, and each member had convinced even 10 people to vote, the party could have crossed 2 crore votes easily. Inflated numbers and artificial projections ultimately benefit no one. Also, why is importance given only to the Youth Wing within the DMK? 2) Red Giant Movies should stop film production altogether. Some believe this is why Vijay was not strongly criticized before the elections. 3) While many in the DMK struggle and work for years, how did leaders like Anbil Mahesh and TRB Raja rise so quickly? 4) Why was Sabareesan’s face made so visible during the election campaign? 5) Durga Stalin visiting temples is her personal choice. But why should it happen in a way that gains media attention? 6) Unlike Kalaignar, Stalin seems inaccessible to party cadres and grassroots workers. 7) The DMK IT Wing functions more like a corporate company. Many feel actual DMK cadres have little place in it. 8) Even after all these criticisms, many believe Stalin will never remove Minister Sekar Babu and will continue to keep him close. 9) Some feel that “civilized politics” does not work in Tamil Nadu. In the Karur incident, at the very least, Aadhav Arjuna should have been arrested or a case should have been registered against him. 10) Pen
