A public disagreement has emerged between ministers Aadhav and Nehru regarding the functioning of the Chennai Mayor. During the exchange, it was alleged that the Mayor is failing to cooperate with the state government.
Critics pointed out that the Local Administration Department remains under the control of the same officials, noting that while the government and its leadership have changed, the power dynamics within the department have not. The dispute highlights ongoing friction over the administration of the 25 municipal corporations currently under their jurisdiction.
