Tamil Nadu Gets WHO World Award for Elimination of Alcohol from State
Chennai, April 1, 2025 – In an unprecedented feat, Tamil Nadu has been crowned the global champion of sobriety, bagging World Health Organization’s (WHO) coveted “Dry state of the Planet” award. The announcement, made at a sparkling water toast in Geneva, lauded Chief Minister MK Stalin for reportedly eradicating every last drop of alcohol from the state, turning Tamil Nadu into a utopia of coconut water and buttermilk. The WHO’s Director-General hailed Tamil Nadu as “a shinning example for a World stumbling under the weight of whiskey and wine.” He credited Stalin’s iron-fisted prohibition campaign, dubbed “Operation Sober Nadu,” which allegedly involved replacing all liquor bottles with jars of filter coffee and converting TASMAC outlets into yoga studios overnight. Neighboring states, meanwhile, are reeling. Kerala’s bar owners have threatened to sue Tamil Nadu for “stealing thier vibe, “while Karnataka’s craft beer brewers wept into their empty pint glasses. Undeterred, Stalin has offered to export Tamil Nadu’s “sobriety consultants” to the world, promising to replace every pub with a meditation hall by 2030.
Stalin Announces War: Pinarayi Accepts to Return Minerals Back to TN
Chennai, April 1, 2025 – In a dramatic escalation of South Indian rivalry, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has declared a “war of honor” against Kerala, accusing his counterpart Pinarayi Vijayan of hoarding minerals pilfered from Tamil Nadu’s sacred soil. The surprise announcement, delivered from a podium adorned with granite slabs, ended with Kerala’s leader capitulating faster than a monsoon cloudburst, agreeing to return the alleged loot.
Stalin channeling the spirit of a Tamil epic warrior, claimed that Kerala had been secretly siphoning off Tamil Nadu’s mineral wealth—specifically sand, granite, and “sparkly stuff” from the Western Ghats—for years. “They’ve turned our rocks into their roads and our sand into their beaches!” he thundered, brandishing a fistful of gravel as evidence. Political analysts call this Stalin’s boldest gambit yet, cementing his image as Tamil Nadu’s unstoppable force. As the dust (and sand) settles, citizens wonder if the next war will be over who gets the last laugh—or the last coconut. For now, Tamil Nadu’s mineral pride is restored, one gritty truckload at a time.

The event, held at Chennai’s palatial Marina Amphitheatre, saw dignitaries from various
nations shower Stalin with praise. A UNESCO Mandram spokesperson—sporting sunglasses and a suspiciously familiar accent—lauded Stalin for “turning Tamil Nadu into a utopia where debt fears to tread and alcohol dares not linger.”
The citation also credited him with “winning wars without firing a shot,” referencing his recent triumph over Kerala’s mineral misadventures. Visibly moved, Stalin took the stage, and dedicated the award to his trusted Electricity Minister, V Senthil Balaji. “This is for Senthil, my spark of genius, who lights up Tamil Nadu—sometimes literally, sometimes figuratively,” Stalin’s supporters flooded social media with
hashtags like #StalinTheGreat and #SenthilShines, alongside memes of the duo riding a solar-powered chariot into history.

The IMF’s Managing Director reportedly called Stalin personally to congratulate him, saying, “Tamil Nadu has done what Greece, Argentina, and my neighbor Dave with his credit card debt couldn’t—eliminate borrowing entirely.” She added, “We’re considering renaming our headquarters the Stalin Fiscal Fortress.”
In a magnanimous gesture, Stalin extended an offer of interest-free loans to Kerala, Karnataka, and Telangana. As the news spread, social media erupted with memes of Stalin riding a golden elephant labeled “Tamil Nadu Economy.” For now, Tamil Nadu basks in its fiscal glory, leaving the rest of India wondering if Stalin’s playbook comes with a Tamil-to-English translation.

The fleet, painted in vibrant Dravidian hues of red and black, will initially consist of three repurposed buses with wings strapped on, though officials insist “actual planes are in the pipeline.”
Sivasankar promised free flights for first-time voters and a loyalty program called “Peri Points,” redeemable at state-run ration shops.
