Ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections scheduled for April 23, 2026, Vijay, the chief of the Tamilaga Vazhvurimai Katchi (TVK) party, has filed a new election affidavit declaring two pending criminal cases. This affidavit, submitted on April 4, includes FIR number 74 of 2026 from the K5 Peravallur Police Station in Chennai, which alleges public disturbance during election campaigning on March 30. The second FIR, number 108 of 2025, is from the Koodakovil Police Station in Madurai district, concerning an incident during a party conference on August 21, 2025, where a complainant alleged injury caused by bouncers. While the criminal record section saw updates, Vijay's financial declarations remained largely consistent, with movable assets valued at approximately ₹410.59 crore and immovable properties worth ₹220.15 crore. He also reported a total income of ₹184.53 crore for the 2024-2025 financial year and pending income tax demands of around ₹3.44 crore. Vijay is contesting elections from the Perambur and Tiruchirapalli East constituencies, having filed nominations for both on March 30 and April 2, respectively. The new affidavit aims to correct discrepancies noted between his initial filings.
