Inside CM Vijay’s 100 days in office: Cauvery, Trisha controversies to free power and loan relief
The Vijay government has faced questions over the implementation of TVK's election promises, its handling of the Cauvery water dispute and the state's finances.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay celebrated 100 days in office, showcasing a mix of welfare initiatives and controversies. The Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) government rolled out measures such as free electricity for eligible households, a dedicated women's safety force, and anti-narcotics task forces. However, the administration faced criticism for alleged corruption and its handling of the Cauvery water dispute with Karnataka.
Opposition parties accused Vijay of reusing schemes from the previous DMK government. The BJP leader K Annamalai alleged kickbacks from contractors, while opposition leader Udhayanidhi Stalin accused the government of presenting DMK schemes under new names. Despite these controversies, Vijay's government expanded welfare schemes, including increased free electricity, a gold ring for newborns, and skill development programs for students. The government also ordered the closure of 717 TASMAC liquor shops near sensitive locations.
