Anaithu Palli Parent Teachers Association which is being called as ‘APPA’ App by DMK government was launched by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on 22 February 2025 in the presence of School Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi.
The app they say is intended to bridge the communication gap between parents, teachers, and the administration to enhance the educational experience.
The DMK government has named the app “APPA” in an attempt to brand MK Stalin as ‘Appa’ akin to how Jayalalithaa was fondly called ‘Amma’ by Tamil people.
When a reporter asked Annamalai about the ‘APPA’ app, Annamalai said “It’s not APPA brother. It is APPaTA. If you look at it, it won’t come as ‘APPA’. If you abbreviate it correctly it will come as ‘APPaTA’. They made it half-Tamil, half-English to make it ‘APPA’ app. Look at the fraud being done here. It’s actually ‘APPaTA’ app.”
The BJP Tamil Nadu President went on to say that the app is being used to swindle money.
“Those who run schools say that this has been started to extort money. Before 2021, CBSE schools had to renew their permissions only once in 3 years. After DMK came to power, they made it once every year. That’s why the Central Government has removed the need for permission from State Government. You’re extorting ₹5 lakh, ₹10 lakh, ₹15 lakh for permission. Why should they give you?”, Annamalai said.
