Vijay Returns To Karur As CM, Levels Explosive Allegations Against DMK

Nearly nine months after the Karur stampede that claimed 41 lives during his election campaign, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay returned to Karur for the first time since the tragedy.

In an emotional visit, Vijay met the families of the victims, broke down in tears, and handed over government job appointment orders to eligible family members. But the visit also triggered a fresh political controversy after Vijay alleged that the then DMK-led administration and police deliberately allowed the tragedy to unfold to politically target him and his party, TVK.
