TN CM chairs cabinet meeting

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K Palaniswami Monday chaired a meeting of his cabinet. There was no official word on what was discussed in the meeting, though a tweet on Palaniswami's Twitter handle, @CMOTamilNadu, said the cabinet meeting was held with him presiding.

The meeting comes ahead of the 23-day Assembly session on Friday which is expected to be a stormy affair. The DMK, which is expected to raise issues like the water scarcity in many parts of the state including here, besides the Cauvery dispute, has already given a resolution seeking Speaker P Dhanapal's removal.

The resolution was given on April 30, hours after the Speaker issued notices to three AIADMK MLAs, who have sided with rival leader TTV Dhinakaran, for alleged anti-party activities.
