Joseph Vijay and his Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam government are at the centre of a major political controversy after allegations emerged of an alleged plot to destabilise the administration. The row began after a TVK MLA reportedly claimed he was offered ₹35 crore to support a move against the Assembly Speaker. Investigators have arrested three individuals in connection with the case, while TVK leaders have accused opposition forces of attempting to engineer defections and weaken the government. As the investigation continues, the controversy has triggered a full-blown political battle across Tamil Nadu.
