Madras High Court Reviews Election Petition Challenging CM Vijay's Asset Declarations
The Madras High Court is hearing an election petition challenging Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay's election victory over alleged false declarations and omissions in his 2026 election affidavit. The petitioner claims Vijay falsely declared ownership of government land and misstated property details, while the court questioned if an alleged Rs 30 crore asset omission, amid declared assets worth Rs 600 crore, constitutes corrupt practice. Vijay denies the allegations, attributing any errors to his chartered accountant and seeking dismissal of the petition.
