Tamil Nadu, national and international developments are in focus on Thursday, May 8, with multiple political, education, weather and sports updates lined up.
In a charged political climate, TVK is holding a meeting of its MLAs in Panaiyur today. Party leader Vijay and other key functionaries are expected to take part.
The Class 12 board examination results were released at 9.30 am. The overall pass percentage is 93.19%, with girls recording a 97% pass rate; Erode district topped the list with 98.87%. Results will also be sent to the mobile numbers collected from students and private candidates.
The weather department has indicated the possibility of heavy rain in 19 districts, including Nilgiris, Coimbatore, Erode, Tiruppur, Dindigul, Madurai, Theni, Tenkasi, Virudhunagar, Tirunelveli, Kanniyakumari, Sivaganga, Ramanathapuram, Thoothukudi, Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Nagapattinam, Mayiladuthurai and Pudukkottai.
On the political front, uncertainty continues over forming a government, with TVK said to be short by six seats. The CPM, CPI and VCK—each holding two seats—are expected to announce their stand today; their support could open the way for Vijay to form the government.
In sports, a Premier League cricket match in Delhi tonight will see Delhi take on Kolkata.
