<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\nTVK chief Vijay on Sunday dismissed claims of a four-cornered contest in the Tamil Nadu assembly elections, asserting that the real battle is between his party and the ruling DMK, while outlining a governance model centred on technology and service delivery, PTI reported.Addressing a rally, Vijay said, \u201cIt is not 4-cornered or 40-cornered fight. There are only two sides here: One is TVK, the other is DMK. Do you want an anti-people Stalin government, or Vijay, who loves people? That’s all this election is.\u201dThe actor-politician also undertook a bicycle ride at the venue as part of his outreach campaign. A similar exercise earlier in Karaikudi had turned chaotic, but arrangements in Kanyakumari ensured better crowd management.Vijay unveiled a \u201c21st-century good governance\u201d vision, proposing India\u2019s first Ministry of Artificial Intelligence, along with plans for an AI City and a dedicated AI University, stating the sector could contribute USD 1.7 trillion to India by 2035.He also proposed a \u201cTamil Nadu Citizen Privilege Card\u201d to ensure doorstep delivery of welfare benefits without intermediaries. \u201cThis isn’t a story like the ones told by Stalin sir; this is scientifically possible. Currently, the system is not ‘good governance,’ it is ‘harassment’. Bribes don’t just stop at the officer; a share goes to the minister. We will break this chain,\u201d he said.The TVK chief said a \u201cRight to Service Act\u201d would be enacted within six months of assuming office and announced a \u201cVettri Tamil Nadu\u201d Super App to digitise public services such as ration cards and driving licences.On the state\u2019s finances, Vijay alleged that Tamil Nadu\u2019s debt had crossed Rs 10.5 lakh crore, claiming that borrowings in the last five years exceeded those of the previous decades. \u201cEvery rupee spent on interest is a rupee stolen from your child’s education and your family’s healthcare,\u201d he said.He also proposed a \u201cPeople\u2019s Forum\u201d to enable digital participation, where petitions with 5 lakh verified signatures would mandate discussion in the state assembly.Urging voters to back his party, Vijay called for a \u201cWhistle Revolution,\u201d referring to the party\u2019s symbol. \u201cI have come for you, bearing all the pain, and I will never cheat you with lies. Give your brother one chance,\u201d he said.The campaign has, however, seen disruptions, with criticism over cancelled meetings and confusion regarding schedules. Vijay had cancelled a scheduled speech in Karaikudi on April 11, disappointing supporters.<\/p>\n Poll<\/p>\n What is your opinion on the proposal for a Tamil Nadu Citizen Privilege Card?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Later, TVK general secretary N Anand clarified that the Kanyakumari rally would proceed and urged supporters not to follow Vijay\u2019s convoy to avoid overcrowding and accidents. He also advised vulnerable groups to participate virtually.Vijay is scheduled to address a rally in Aranthangi in Pudukkottai on April 14, though the event is yet to be confirmed. Elections to the 234-member Tamil Nadu assembly will be held on April 23.<\/div>\n\n
