Tamil Nadu govt’s appointment of Special representative to Delhi triggers sharp criticism

The Tamil Nadu government's choice to appoint Venkata Narayana as its special representative in Delhi has sparked controversy due to his connections with Karnataka. Critics, particularly from opposition parties, argue that Narayana's past ties to Karnataka undermine his impartiality and effectiveness in representing Tamil Nadu's interests in the capital. This move highlights ongoing political tensions between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, raising questions about the state government's judgment in selecting officials who will engage with federal matters.
