Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], November 2 (ANI): Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin on Sunday expressed his party’s opposition to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), following the announcement of the second phase of SIR covering 12 states and union territories, alleging that it was being used to capture power in the state.
He further stated that his father, Chief Minister MK Stalin, has convened an all-party meeting to discuss the issue, inviting leaders from all parties.
While speaking to ANI, Deputy CM Udhayanidhi Stalin said, “We have continuously opposed this SIR… We have seen what they have done in the Bihar elections… The Supreme Court has also made some decisions… Given the upcoming elections in the next 3-4 months, we think it’s done intentionally to capture power in Tamil Nadu. Today, our Chief Minister has convened an all-party meeting, and he has extended invitations to all party leaders. Let them come and share their views, and our leader will make a very good decision.”
Udhayanidhi on Sunday flagged off the MRT1 Chargebee Chennai Runs 2025 marathon, one of the city’s most significant community fitness events, from the iconic Napier Bridge.
Rajya Sabha MP Kamal Haasan graced the occasion as the chief guest and will present the awards to the winners during the closing ceremony later in the day.
This is the fourth edition of the MRT1 organised marathon in Chennai.
Organised by the Madras Round Table 1 (MRT1), the marathon drew over 10,000 participants, including professional runners, fitness enthusiasts, and citizens from across the city.

Before flagging off the run and interacting with the runners, the Dy CM was seen encouraging the runners to keep moving forward, and acknowledged the support of the volunteers and the police officials, which made the run possible.
