The Madras High Court has instructed the income tax department to address a petition alleging a ₹100 crore discrepancy in the election affidavits of actor Vijay, who is contesting the Tamil Nadu elections with his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). The court's decision comes as a setback for Vijay, who filed affidavits for two constituencies: Trichy and Perambur. The income reported for Trichy was ₹220 crore, while for Perambur it was ₹115 crore, creating a difference of ₹105 crore. As Vijay prepares for a competitive electoral debut, he faces challenges from candidates of the ruling DMK, including Inigo S Irudayaraj in Trichy and RD Sekar in Perambur. His campaign strategy focuses on consolidating minority and fisherfolk votes, particularly in Tamil Nadu's coastal regions. The elections are scheduled for April 23, with counting to take place on May 4. The main contest will be between the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance and the National Democratic Alliance led by AIADMK.
