Vijay hits 100 as Tamil Nadu CM, then goes on a hard-hitting spree with bills

Vijay, the newly elected Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, has already made headlines with his post-100-day activities. Within the first 100 days, Vijay's administration announced a series of welfare measures and policy changes. These included raising the procurement price of Aavin milk, expanding maternity leave for government employees, providing government vehicles and monthly allowances for legislators, and increasing the healthcare coverage under the Comprehensive Health Insurance Scheme.

The chief minister's swift political moves also included a controversial U-turn, threatening to reveal corruption files from the previous DMK government. He also announced that opponents should not expect such revelations at the moment. Vijay's administration has been expanding its welfare schemes, including a 100-day report highlighting the welfare-focused period.
