A similar mistake made by karunanidhi was corrected by the J.Jayalalitha, Mother of the revolutionaries, who celebrated the tamil New Year again on the first day of Chithirai as people have been celebrating for thousands of years. 

In the year 2008, then chief minister M karunanidhi changed the law from the first day of the tamil New Year to the first day of January. 

Karunanidhi took this decision citing tamil sources and sources that the tamil New Year should be celebrated on the first day of January. 

As a result, the AIADMK government has been in power for the last 10 years and there is no alternative to the tamil New Year. 

In this situation, after the current regime change, the question arose as to whether the tamil New Year would be celebrated again on the first day of January. 

Meanwhile, in the list of public holidays for the year 2022, the tamil New Year was mentioned as april 14. This led to the perception that the DMK had changed its position. 

However, the handbag for the gift package of 21 items currently announced for the pongal festival on behalf of the government of tamil Nadu has been released on social media.

In it, the chief minister said pongal greetings and tamil New Year greetings. The handbag was also stamped with the name of the government of tamil Nadu in the name of Stalin. 

Following this, the question has arisen in everyone's mind as to whether the tamil New Year has been shifted back to the first date of January. The handbag has been posted on social media and has been heavily criticized by AIADMK and BJP.

AIADMK general secretary DTV Dhinakaran has questioned this. DTV Dhinakaran has posted on twitter in this regard. 

If there is any such plan it should be dropped. karunanidhi made a similar mistake. They are trying to do such unnecessary work to divert the DMK government's failures, including the NEET election, the release of 7 Tamils, the release of Islamic prisoners and the snatching of tamil Nadu's 

ownership of the Mullai Periyar Dam. 

The DMK government must stop trying to deceive the people of tamil Nadu by engaging in the advertising game as usual, without paying attention to all the work that really needs to be done to develop Tamil.
