"In 1967, the DMK captured power for the first time and the great son of the soil C N Annadurai became the Chief Minister. He gave the name: Tamil Nadu to the state on July 18 the same year," Stalin said in a tweet referring to a unanimous resolution passed in then Madras state legislative assembly on renaming the state as Tamil Nadu.바카라 웹사이트

The struggle to rename the state ran deep starting from orator Maraimalai Adigal, rationalist leader E V Ramasamy, writer Somasundara Bharatiar to Independence activist Sankaralinganar, who sacrificed his life, and freedom fighter M P Sivagnanam (Ma Po Si), he said.바카라 웹사이트
