TNIE and Mint report that the council reached 35 after VCK and IUML inductions. Where official portfolio releases exist, TVK Tracker treats those as the stronger record.

Official manifesto and action-plan structure

The manifesto, ideology, and action-plan structure is checked against TVK official pages. Granular promise summaries remain source-linked to publisher reports where the official page does not expose every detail in one crawlable record.

Promises claimed as implementation

Manifesto promises are not treated as implemented by default. Until an official order, budget allocation, scheme rule, department circular, or beneficiary dataset appears, they should remain Manifesto Promise or Tracking.
