Tamil Nadu CM Vijay Plans London Visit Amid Political Criticism and Assembly Complex Debate
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay is set to make his first official foreign visit to London via Dubai, accompanied by a high-level delegation, with the trip funded by the state's Industries Department. Meanwhile, AMMK leader TTV Dhinakaran criticized Vijay, calling him a 'villain in real life' despite his film hero image, and opposed the state government's plan to build a new Assembly complex citing concerns over fishermen's livelihoods and traffic congestion. The Election Commission has scheduled by-elections in several states, including Tamil Nadu.
