DMK Receives Major Donations from Future Gaming, Mega Infra, and India Cements in 2021 Poll Year
In a significant revelation, the Election Commission’s latest data highlights the hefty contributions received by the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) through poll bonds during the years leading up to 2023. The ruling party in Tamil Nadu disclosed substantial donations amounting to a staggering Rs 656.5 crore from April 19, 2019, to November 14, 2023.
During the 2019–2020 period, coinciding with the general elections, the DMK amassed contributions totaling Rs 45.50 crore, despite being out of power in the state. Major donors included India Cements with Rs 10 crore, Lakshmi Machine Works (LMW) with Rs 1.50 crore, and Mega Infrastructure with Rs 20 crore, among others.
The subsequent financial years witnessed a significant surge in contributions, notably in 2020–2021, where the DMK received Rs 80 crore. Future Gaming and Hotel Services Pvt Ltd (FGH) emerged as a prominent donor, contributing Rs 60 crore, while Mega contributed Rs 20 crore.
However, it was the 2021–2022 financial year that saw a substantial spike, with contributions totaling Rs 302 crore. FGH remained a primary contributor, contributing Rs 249 crore, alongside other entities like Sun TV Network, India Cements, and Triveni.
The local body polls held in February 2022 maintained the momentum, with FGH and other significant donors continuing their support through poll bonds.
FGH’s close association with the DMK, notably through owner Santiago Martin and his son-in-law Aadhav Arjuna, has been a subject of interest. Arjuna, previously involved in DMK’s strategic operations, joined the VCK, a DMK ally, last month after failing to secure a DMK ticket in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
Other notable donors include Triveni, engaged in infrastructure projects, and LMW, a Tamil Nadu-based machine tools manufacturer.
In the most recent financial year of 2022–2023, the DMK continued to receive substantial contributions, with FGH contributing Rs 160 crore and Mega adding Rs 25 crore, among others.
These revelations shed light on the significant financial backing received by the DMK, raising questions about the influence of such donations on political dynamics in Tamil Nadu. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.

reblog for a bigger sample size of former angry, creative, and/or highly dramatic children
#len asks#strangling tw#choking tw#drowning tw#<- ik followers and moots need those tagged but lmk if there's any more you want me to add#polls#personally i mostly hung my toys up. not in like a morbid way but i thought it was fun to swing them from trees#DEF threw them off structures in a morbid way. and melted their faces off in a morbid way. and gave them swirlies in a morbid way#i usually only did that to free mcdonalds toys and i don't think i ever did any of this to my expensive toys but i did like a bit of#violence here and there. it was an interesting outlet for sure. i basically always did it with a friend as well. bonding <3#OH and we put out sparklers on an action figure once before tying blackcats to him and throwing him off a bridge. fun times!#oh and the freezer. i think that's it tho and i honestly only did most of these things once bc the novelty wore off#gonna periodically rb this for a bigger sample size. i will be HIGHLY disappointed in y'all if 'none' sweeps

As promised, here is the result of my poll. Thanks for voting everyone✨Here's the little story-
Sonic and Tails are in the workshop, it's raining out, and Sonic finds Tails's new spinning chair, he spins out of control.
The second version has been over done for extra stupidness 💙
I also decided to draw the second place result because I can't help myself. Sonic encourages Tails to install rockets on the back of the chair.
Drawing the brothers being stupid is one of my favorites. ✨💛💙
#sonic the hedgehog#sonic#poll result#tails the fox#sonic and tails#unbreakable bond#tails miles prower#sonic fanart#sth#my art#the brothers being stupid <3#the second versions are funnier to me haha#what should my next drawing poll be about?#sonic and the spinny chair

FINAL ROUND of HANNAH'S "WHO'S HOTTEST" BOND BRACKET
FINAL ROUND! It's down to Brosnan and Dalton now.
While I think you should all vote with your hearts, I also encourage you to consider how hilarious it would be if they both got killed now ... just think about it ... with our collective mind powers we could eliminate both 007's lol

WELCOME TO THE ULTIMATE FANDOM TWINK SHOWDOWN
It’s fandom. We’re obsessed with them. Now it’s time to crown the winner.
Submit your chosen twink to the poll using the form down below! There’s more than half of the places left for a ton of characters. Let’s fill up this bracket and get this show on the road!
SUGGEST-A-TWINK
RULES/INFO
Must be male (cis or trans) OR masc nonbinary. Cross-dressing girls might be accepted if the characters around them don’t know (e.g: Mulan as Ping).
Must be young, or at least appear young. Millennia-old twinks do exist, just look at Legolas.
No IRL people. No, not even Timothee Chalamet. This is for fandom twinks, which means they must be fictional. Bandoms do not count.
Only one extra Genshin Impact character may enter the tournament, because otherwise it’s just a Genshin Impact tournament.
Twunks are accepted.
No botting/spamming. Be fair to everyone’s faves!
Submissions will last for a week, showdowns for 3 days (72 hours).
MAY THE BEST TWINK WIN

Do you know this (noncanon) ADHD character?
Evidence below the cut!
can be pretty hyperactive, forgets things regularly (even important things, forgot he turned into a heartless in kh1), distractable, later on he seems to have some problems with emotional dysregulation. hes constantly called lazy by his friends but as soon as hes doing something he likes he has all the energy in the world, and also tends to dismiss his own intelligence despite actually being pretty smart, both of which are things that i think are decently common with undiagnosed adhd
#poll#noncanon adhd character#kingdom hearts#kh#sora#kh sora#sora kh#kingdom hearts sora#sora kingdom hearts#THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG TAG RAMBLE#ok first sora even getting posted is like a saga#originally i was going to post him myself but had trouble verbalizing evidence#so i asked my discord friends#and then i forgot to write down what they said and lost it#then he got submitted in the initial submissions right when the blog started#but the only evidence was 'look at him lol'#so he was unpostable#then he finally got submitted again during the recent spike with actual evidence!! so i can post him now#sora is so important to me#kingdom hearts is how i found playframe and that community is a huge part of my life now#and also i spent multiple years playing a weekly ttrpg campaign in a completely homebrew kh system#and it was the most fun ive ever had in my life and i am not exaggerating#there was only one other non dm player so three of us in all#and we had such a great dynamic we are such close friends now and the dm even looked up tips for dming for adhd players#and gave my character the ability impulsiveness which turned out to be one of our most powerful abilities#(i say our bc later we got the 'sisterly bond' ability which allowed us to use some of our coplayer's abilities and impulsiveness was one)#it let me take an action during someone else's turn at the cost of one less action on my next turn. basically taking it early#making her adhd one of our most powerful tools#and my character ended up very much a sora parallel despite not living in the time of the main kh games#so yeah. kh and adhd sora specifically. very important to me

Klinger and Hawkeye are not included because that would be too easy. Klinger is THEE drag queen of the 4077th, and we all know Hawkeye would kill it, so they are the judges.
((btw I would love to hear why you chose who you did! And also if you think of any drag names the characters would come up with 👀))
#'who would win drag race?' is a question I like to ask my sibling when bonding with them over their interests shdgsjd#mash#m*a*s*h#maxwell klinger#hawkeye pierce#henry blake#colonel potter#trapper john mcintyre#bj hunnicutt#frank burns#charles emerson winchester iii#margaret houlihan#father mulcahy#radar o'reilly#polls#i was originally gonna include hawkeye but that really would not be fair#shes got it all: she can sing she can dance shes a comedian shes an actress shes camp#idk if hawkeye can sew but she can fucking knit so you bet your ass shed have at least one knitted ensemble
