All Tamil Nadu MLAs to get car and assistant for constituency work: CM Vijay in Assembly
CM Vijay said ₹75,000 would be provided every month towards the maintenance of the car, fuel, and a driver. The monthly allowance for the assistant would be ₹25,000
Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay announced on Wednesday that all MLAs in Tamil Nadu will be provided with a car and an assistant to ensure efficient constituency work and corruption-free governance, according to the assembly proceedings. He stated that ₹75,000 would be allocated monthly for car maintenance, fuel, and a driver, while each assistant would receive a monthly allowance of ₹25,000.
The move came after Kattumannarkoil MLA L.E. Jothimani requested the assistance, citing the need for MLAs to undertake constituency work and inspections. Jothimani argued that MLAs without an economic or financial background often could not afford necessary support for their duties. Vijay emphasized that MLAs, despite lacking political or financial backgrounds, had pledged to work with transparency and honesty upon their election, and were fulfilling their commitments by traveling extensively to serve their constituents.
The announcement was met with praise in the assembly, with TVK MLA K. Sindu singing an MGR film song to express her gratitude, singing, "He gave everything, for whom? Not just to one, he gave it to everyone."
