95 per cent think Panneerselvam is right and Sasikala is wrong: TOI online poll

 Pretty much everyone wants to see OPanneerselvam return to the Chief Minister's chair. This is not only true of Tamil speakers, but also seemingly of people from across the country, as online polls by TOI and Tamil Samayam have shown.

However, Tamil speakers seemed to be slightly more in favour of Panneerselvam, or OPS as he is widely known, than the respondents of the all-India poll.
The TOI online poll saw more than 82,000 people cast their votes. Of this, a jaw dropping 95 percent of the respondents - 78,700 - said they thought Panneerselvam was right in striking out in rebellion against VK Sasikala in the post-Jayalalithaa struggle for control of the Tamil Nadu government and the ruling AIADMK.


Only 3,740 people who took part in the online poll thought Sasikala was in the right in her attempt to ascend to the Chief Minister's post.
The TOI online poll reflected an opinion that was a just a shade weaker than the Tamil Samayam poll, which saw 97 percent of the respondents taking Panneerselvam's side. Sasikala supporters also put up only token resistance on Tamil Samayam's Facebook poll - while 674 supported OPS, only 5 thought Sasikala was correct in her actions.


The Chennai slugfest however, now rests in the hands of Tamil Nadu GovernorVidyasagar Rao, who met both warring leaders on Thursday evening.

Till now, it has not been proved that RF waves can cause brain tumours, but at the same time, it remains to be proved that RF waves are absolutely safe. It is ionizing radiations  that has been proved to cause cancer by damaging the DNA inside cells. Cellphones do not give off ionizing radiation. In 2011, International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified mobile phone radiation as Group 2B - possibly carcinogenic. That means, there “could be some risk” of carcinogenicity, so additional research into the long-term, heavy use of mobile phones needs to be conducted. Some studies pertaining to mobile phone RF rays have made a few observations -Studies to date provide no indication ...
