Assembly Speech

Assembly exchange over Stalin remark draws opposition response

Public Address

Karur address links anti-bribery message, stampede grief, and memorial promise

Reports from the Karur visit record Vijay asking the public to refuse bribes, criticising the handling of the 2025 stampede, announcing a memorial for victims, and handing over compassionate appointment orders. TVK Tracker treats this as a speech and relief-file update while keeping legal conclusions separate because court review and the CBI probe continue.
