TVK MLA renders MGR song in Assembly to praise CM Vijay

Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, C. Joseph Vijay, announced in the Assembly that all Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) will be provided with a car and an assistant to effectively carry out their constituency work, ensuring that government schemes reach the people. The Chief Minister stated that ₹75,000 would be given each month to cover the maintenance of the car, fuel, and the driver's salary.

Additionally, the assistant would receive a monthly allowance of ₹25,000. The decision came as a response to a request from L.E. Jothimani, representing the Kattumannarkoil Assembly constituency, who highlighted that many MLAs lacked cars and were unable to undertake their duties and inspections. Jothimani, a member of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) party, also urged the government to prioritize the basic needs of MLAs to promote corruption-free governance and administration.

Vijay acknowledged the importance of MLAs in democracy, noting that there has been a significant increase in first-time MLAs who have been elected with public support but lack political or financial backgrounds. The Chief Minister emphasized that the TVK government has been providing honest and corruption-free governance, and MLAs must travel extensively as part of their work.

To facilitate this, the Chief Minister announced the provision of a car and assistant for each MLA, which received widespread appreciation from fellow MLAs in the Assembly. In gratitude for the Chief Minister's gesture, TVK MLA K. Sindu rendered an MGR film song, expressing her appreciation.
