Madras HC Flags About Rs 100 Crore Discrepancy in Vijay Thalapathy’s Election Filings Ahead of Tamil Nadu Polls
The Madras High Court, in a ruling concerning the famous actor, Vijay Thalapathy, has held that discrepancies of more than Rs 100 crore have been noticed in his election affidavit. The income tax authorities have been directed to rely on this issue.
This recent order of the Madras High Court acts as a setback for both Vijay and his new political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). The party is about to contest its first election in Tamil Nadu, which is currently governed by Chief Minister M. K. Stalin from the DMK.
For Tamil Nadu elections, Vijay has filed nomination papers from two seats, i.e., Tiruchirappalli (Trichy) and Perambur. A voter from Perambur had approached the court alleging a discrepancy in Vijay’s income demonstrated in the two affidavits.
In Vijay’s affidavit for Trichy, a total of Rs 220 crore was shown, while in that of Perambur’s affidavit, he showed his total income at Rs 115 crore, which explicitly created an income difference of Rs 105 crore.
Vijay is entering politics and will face a tough three-way contest.
The voting in Tamil Nadu is scheduled for April 23, 2026, and counting will be on May 4, 2026. The key fight in this election is between the DMK-led alliance (with Congress, DMDK, and VCK) and the NDA alliance led by AIADMK, along with BJP and PMK.
