4. Farm Loan Waiver
Vijay has pledged a complete crop loan waiver for farmers owning less than five acres of land and a 50% waiver for those owning more than five acres. The manifesto also includes better procurement prices for paddy and sugarcane farmers.

- Ration shops schools and colleges will distribute free sanitary pads to the public.
- Women self-help groups will receive interest-free loans to support their activities.
Clarifying how the schemes would be funded despite the state’s rising debt, Vijay said the problem was corruption rather than lack of money. He described this as “30% Stalin tax,” referring to alleged diversion of public funds. “If we remove such corruption, everything will run properly.”
Regarding the controversy around his personal issues, Vijay said, “I see many of you getting hurt while fighting for it. I get hurt when I see that. I will deal with it. Let us together focus only on the people’s problems. Don’t feel discouraged as it is not worth it.”
Can TVK Deliver These Promises?
Supporters of the manifesto claim that it shows people-centered governance while critics doubt that the government can afford to implement its wide-ranging welfare programs. The campaign will focus on three main issues which include funding matters and fiscal discipline and the ability to run administrative functions.
