Left parties reaffirm external support while skipping alliance meeting
Reviewed
Times of India reported that CPM and CPI leaders skipped a TVK-friendly parties meeting but called on Chief Minister Vijay at the Secretariat and reaffirmed outside support to the government. The leaders also urged all-party consultation on contentious issues such as Cauvery and asked for worker- and farmer-focused Budget attention. TVK Tracker records this as an alliance-support and governance-consultation update, useful for following the government's Assembly stability and how outside supporters influence policy priorities.

Times of India reported that Vijay used his first NITI Aayog Governing Council appearance to seek Tamil Nadu's NEET exemption, release of Rs 3,284 crore in Samagra Shiksha funds, Rs 2,284 crore for Hogenakkal Phase-II, national-literature status for Thirukkural, a second AIIMS in Tamil Nadu, highway approvals, fishermen protection, and climate-resilience support. TVK Tracker records this as a Centre-State policy demand, not as completed implementation.

These items update the Promise Tracker as implementation signals that still need orders, budgets, portals, and outcome data.

Economic Times reported that Edappadi K. Palaniswami criticised the TVK government's crop-loan waiver announcement. TVK Tracker treats this as an implementation signal that still needs the underlying government order or scheme document.
