Times of India reported that farmer groups expected the Budget to address reported TVK promises of Rs 3,500 per quintal for paddy and Rs 4,500 per tonne for sugarcane, but criticised the Budget for not including a clear MSP hike. The August 100-day video coverage later listed paddy and sugarcane price-incentive claims, including figures below the reported manifesto targets. TVK Tracker marks this as announced movement, not fulfilment of a legally guaranteed MSP. Track procurement orders, price-support law, crop coverage, funding, and payment records.
This page follows the promise as a public commitment and separates the original claim from implementation proof. The record becomes stronger when official orders, budget documents, scheme rules, department circulars, portals, tenders, or performance data become available.
This commitment sits inside the Farmers pillar, so readers need a clear record of what was promised, what evidence exists, and what is still only a claim. TVK Tracker keeps this page separate from the original publisher so the site can add civic context without copying the source article.
The implementation record is currently early. The latest reviewed source trail points to Times of India / Indian Express Tamil, and the status remains announced until stronger official records or reliable corrections change the public file.
