The Tamil Nadu Brief by NDTV’s Sam Daniel | Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Joseph Vijay assures continuation of the ₹1000 monthly aid for 1.3 crore women, but delays TVK’s promise of raising it to ₹2500 as the government reviews finances. DMK chief M K Stalin takes responsibility for the party’s election defeat, describing Vijay’s rise as a “glamour tsunami” and launching a major feedback exercise to revive the party. Meanwhile, Vijay’s trademark black suit-and-white-shirt style has become a retail sensation, with Chennai stores now selling the “CM Vijay combo” for ₹3999.
