On this Special Report, Pramod Madhav travels across Tamil Nadu for ‘Election Basha’ to uncover the ground realities ahead of the polls. Starting in Theni, Madhav highlights the legacy of Colonel John Pennycuick and the local reverence for the Mullaperiyar Dam, stating, ‘The one thing and the only thing that they cannot compromise is the Mullaperiyar Dam.’ The report moves to Tirupur, India’s knitwear capital, where the industry faces distress due to US tariffs and environmental degradation from illegal dumping in stone quarries. Farmers Sridhar and Satish allege government collusion in polluting groundwater. Finally, the programme visits Dharmapuri to discuss the long-pending Rasi Manal Dam project and revisits the harrowing 1992 Vachathi case, where tribal victims waited 32 years for justice after atrocities by government officials. The report emphasizes the urgent need for water management, environmental protection, and dignity for tribal communities as central election themes.
