Tamil Nadu CM Vijay Tours Districts Ahead of Key Assembly Bypolls
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay's recent visits to Pudukkottai and Erode districts precede five upcoming Assembly by-elections in constituencies vacated by AIADMK legislators who joined his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). Officially focused on development and welfare, these visits include inaugurations of projects worth over Rs 60 crore and engagement with local groups. The by-elections are seen as crucial for strengthening the minority TVK government. Former AIADMK minister C Vijayabaskar, now with TVK, faces corruption allegations linked to the previous regime, adding political complexity to the contests.
