Stalin Announces ₹5,000 Bonanza for Women; Vijay Slams Move as 'Fear of Defeat' Ahead of Polls

Описание: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K. Stalin has announced a significant financial package for women, crediting ₹5,000 to the accounts of approximately 1.3 crore beneficiaries just ahead of the Assembly election announcement. The payout includes advance payments for February, March, and April under the Magalir Urimai Thittam Plus scheme, along with a summer special allocation. Stalin further promised that under 'Dravidian Model 2.0', the monthly assistance would double to ₹2,000 if his party is re-elected. However, the move has sparked a political storm. Actor-politician Vijay criticised the scheme, stating it reflects a 'fear of defeat' and claiming the Chief Minister is acting selfishly for political gains. While the Congress lauded the initiative as a step toward empowerment, the BJP dismissed it as a 'poll freebie' intended to lure voters. An unidentified speaker in the programme remarked, 'The fear and desperation of M. K. Stalin is personified with this announcement,' suggesting the timing is purely electoral rather than welfare-oriented.
