Vijay Unveils Tech-Driven Governance Vision, Targets Stalin in Kanyakumari Rally

Kanyakumari, April 2026 : Vijay, president of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), on Sunday laid out an ambitious roadmap for governance while launching a sharp attack on Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K. Stalin during an election rally in Kanyakumari district.

Addressing a large gathering in Mahadhanapuram, Vijay promised a corruption-free system where welfare schemes would be delivered directly to citizens without bureaucratic hurdles, applications, or bribes. He emphasised that his vision prioritises efficiency, transparency, and accessibility.

A key proposal highlighted in his speech was the introduction of a “priority card” for every family in Tamil Nadu. Similar in concept to Aadhaar, the card would store comprehensive household data, enabling the government to deliver benefits seamlessly from birth onwards. Vijay said this system would eliminate delays and ensure that entitlements reach beneficiaries automatically.

“People should not have to struggle or pay bribes to access what is rightfully theirs. Government schemes will reach your doorstep,” he said, underscoring his commitment to simplifying governance.

Vijay also stressed the role of technology in transforming public administration, stating that artificial intelligence would power the proposed system. According to him, AI-driven governance would improve efficiency, reduce corruption, and ensure timely delivery of services.

Taking a direct swipe at Stalin, Vijay asserted that his plans were not “imaginary stories” but practical, scientifically achievable solutions. He accused the current administration of fostering deep-rooted corruption, alleging that bribes collected at lower administrative levels often extend up to higher அதிகார, including ministers.

“Stopping corruption will be our first priority,” he declared, adding that a TVK-led government would roll out a comprehensive “Tamil Nadu Government Service Scheme” within six months of assuming power.

Another major announcement was the launch of a unified digital platform called the “Vetri Tamil Nadu Super App.” This platform, he said, would integrate all government services into a single interface, making it easier for citizens to access them. Vijay assured strict accountability, stating that delays in service delivery would result in immediate action against responsible officials.

Promoting participatory governance, Vijay proposed creating a dedicated public portal where citizens could submit ideas, track government spending, and directly petition the Assembly. He outlined a system where petitions backed by 10,000 signatures would receive official responses, while those supported by one million citizens would be taken up for legislative debate. He also promised to allocate a full day during Assembly sessions to discuss such public petitions.

Highlighting economic concerns, Vijay criticised the state’s growing debt, which he claimed has exceeded Rs 10.05 lakh crore. He accused the current government of excessive borrowing and pledged to boost revenue while rationalising expenditure, without imposing additional taxes on citizens.

Concluding his address, Vijay said his vision is to transform Tamil Nadu into India’s leading hub for artificial intelligence and digital innovation, including the creation of a dedicated AI ministry under a TVK government.
