The planned meeting between Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay in Delhi has been postponed. This visit was significant as it marked Vijay's first official trip to the national capital since he took office earlier this month. Ahead of the meeting, posters celebrating Congress's return to Tamil Nadu after 59 years were displayed outside 10 Janpath. CM Vijay met Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit, where they discussed the successful retrieval of the Anaimangalam copper plates. Additionally, Vijay requested the Ministry of Home Affairs to clarify the protocol regarding the Tamil Thai Vazhthu, the State Invocation Song, which has been overshadowed by the National Song at some government functions. He also pitched for the establishment of the Centre for Airborne Systems in Tamil Nadu and raised concerns about the Mekedatu Dam project, asserting that it contradicts the final award of the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal and the Supreme Court's ruling.
