The Madurai West district AIADMK is being determined that temple city Madurai should be made as the second capital of Tamil Nadu and has asked Chief Minister Edappadi Palanisami to decide on the same. The significance is that the Revenue Minister of the state, RB Udayakumar, was presiding over the meeting that passed this resolution.

The resolution says that a state like Gujarat has two capitals and Andhra Pradesh is set to have three capitals. It also reminded that countries like South Africa have two capitals. Two important ministers in the cabinet- RB Udayakumar, and Co-operation Minister Sellur K Raju, both from Madurai- have endorsed the resolution.

“If Madurai is declared as the second capital, the southern districts will grow, this will provide opportunities for economic growth, industrial development and growth in employment,” Udayakumar said. The resolution also points out the facilities already available in Madurai - the Madras High Court Branch in Madurai, the international airport, very good state highway infrastructure, upcoming AIIMS hospital and its proximity to the Thoothukudi port that lies 150 kilometers away.
It is to be noted that MG Ramachandran, the former Chief Minister of the state had in 1981 endorsed Tiruchirapalli or Trichy to be made the capital of Tamil Nadu. Citing drought and lack of water resources in Chennai, MGR had advocated for the change. This had received huge criticism with DMK chief Karunanidhi saying that MGR had no real intention of shifting the capital, but was merely using it as a diversionary tactic.
