Tamil Nadu’s recent Assembly election is being described as a landmark, ending six decades of continuous rule by Dravidian parties that began in 1967. The poll also repeated a rare outcome seen after 30 years—an incumbent Chief Minister being defeated.
The report notes that candidates and winners came from varied backgrounds, cutting across caste, religion and economic status, a development it calls unusual in recent times. It credits Chief Minister Vijay with this political shift.
As Vijay completes 75 days in office, the article highlights his anti-corruption push as a key achievement. It says his administration is attempting to challenge the belief that entrenched bribery in government departments cannot be tackled.
A major moment cited is Vijay’s public appeal urging people not to pay bribes and to invoke his government’s name if officials demand money. The government has also announced a dedicated WhatsApp number—94981 80936—for bribery-related complaints.
The report claims enforcement against bribery is being pursued at full pace and that early benefits are being felt by the public. As an example, it cites private school managements stating openly that approvals were renewed without paying bribes.
