Parandur Airport Project Grounded, But TVK-DMK Political War Takes Off In Tamil Nadu

The Parandur airport project may have been grounded, but the political battle over the issue is intensifying in Tamil Nadu. TVK is projecting the decision as a victory for farmers, while the Tamil Nadu government continues to explore industrial use of Parandur land. The issue has triggered a sharp TVK-DMK face-off in the Assembly, with both sides trading allegations involving political families, businesses and influential figures. Leader of Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin has also challenged the TVK government to make the relevant files public. As the airport project remains at the centre of debate, Parandur has emerged as a fresh battleground in Tamil Nadu’s evolving political contest.
