Actor vijay

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay has appointed astrologer and TVK spokesperson Radhan Pandit Vettrivel as Officer on Special Duty (OSD) to the Chief Minister, a move that has sparked criticism from allies and opposition leaders.

Radhan Pandit, who had publicly predicted a major electoral victory for Vijay and the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) ahead of the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, has been considered a close aide of the Chief Minister during the party’s election campaign.

The appointment drew sharp reactions from leaders within the Congress and Left parties. Congress MP Sasikanth Senthil questioned the decision in a post on X, asking why an astrologer required an OSD position in government.

Leaders from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) and CPI(M) also criticised the move, arguing that such appointments go against the principles of scientific temper and secular governance.

According to reports, Radhan Pandit was among the first people to visit Vijay’s residence after TVK’s strong performance in the assembly elections. He has also been associated with the party as a spokesperson and political commentator.

The controversy comes amid rapid political developments in Tamil Nadu following the formation of the new TVK-led government.

Maharashtra opposition parties on Tuesday demanded an all-party meeting after Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed to citizens to adopt austerity measures amid rising concerns over the ongoing West Asia crisis.

The prime minister recently urged people to avoid non-essential gold purchases, reduce petrol and diesel usage, postpone foreign travel and consider work-from-home practices to help minimise the economic impact of global uncertainty.

Leaders from opposition parties in Maharashtra said the Centre should hold detailed discussions with political parties and explain the broader economic situation to the public. They raised concerns over the possible impact of geopolitical tensions on fuel prices, inflation and the overall economy.

Some opposition leaders also questioned the timing of the austerity appeal, saying citizens deserve greater clarity on the government’s plans to tackle any economic challenges arising from the crisis in West Asia.

Meanwhile, BJP leaders defended the prime minister’s remarks, describing them as precautionary steps aimed at reducing pressure on foreign exchange reserves and controlling inflationary risks linked to global supply disruptions.

The debate comes as concerns grow globally over energy supplies and rising crude oil prices due to tensions in West Asia.
