Vijay Hits 100‑Day Milestone Amid Welfare Claims and Allegations
· India · Hindustan Times, Times of India, The Hindu
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay marks 100 days in office on May 10, 2026 with a report listing 100 days of governance. The report highlights rollout of welfare schemes such as 200 units of free electricity per eligible household, a women’s safety force, and anti‑narcotics task forces. It also records claims of farmer relief, investment promotion and tightening of anti‑drug and liquor‑control measures. The government faces scrutiny over the handling of the Cauvery water dispute, law and order, state finances and allegations of corruption, including a BJP leader accusing ministers of demanding 2‑4% kickbacks on tenders. Opposition parties say Vijay has rebranded schemes started by the previous DMK government. The Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam won 108 seats and formed a coalition with Congress, VCK and IUML, making Vijay the first non‑DMK or AIADMK chief minister in decades.
Why it matters
The policies and controversies affect millions of Tamil Nadu voters, farmers and businesses, and shape the future of state governance.
