By Ankit Barlota  Follow @AnkitBarlota One is trolled for his mannerisms, the other for his aged looks. One is heavily criticized for having political ambitions, the other for not standing up/showing up in solidarity for people of his profession. One is abused for his over-the-top acting skills, the other for his inability to rock the dance floor. One is.. wait.. If I start writing up these thoughts, this would become a look-out-for page for one of the most dreaded diseases that has occupied the online space- the Thala-Thalapathy Syndrome.

Scores of Tamil Nadu farmers, who had grabbed eyeballs with their unique protest earlier this year, on Sunday landed in the national capital to resume their agitation for loan waiver and drought-relief package. However, around 70 cultivators were detained when they tried to stage a demonstration near the Prime Minister’s residence on Lok Kalyan Marg. They were later taken to Parliament Street police station. “Our demands were not met  as promised by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi Palaniswami  and Union minister Pon Radhakrishnan. So we have decided to resume our protest for another 100 days,” farmers’ leader P Ayyakannu said. The farmers have been demanding a drought relief package of ₹40,000 crore, farm loan waiver and setting up of Cauvery Management Board by the Centre.
