00:00We have had some very interesting conversations over the next few hours, but we are back to
00:04our theme, 100 days of the Vijay government.
00:07Over the next one hour, we will have the top team of Chief Minister Vijay here with us
00:12to speak about what the achievements of each of their sectors has been.
00:16And to kick that off with a 100-day report card, please join me in welcoming Minister
00:21Adhavarjuna here onto the stage.
00:25Can I have a round of applause, please, to welcome Minister Adhavarjuna onto the stage?
00:30The Minister for Public Works Department and Sports.
00:33It's an honour, sir, to have you here at the India Today roundtable, please.
01:08Good evening, everyone.
01:10Hello, everyone.
01:10Welcome to the day of the day.
04:50the Deputy Minister Fund.
04:52We have ended the CM fund.
04:54We have ended the family fund in the corruption.
04:59100 days, not 1 rupee collected in the name of the government.
05:04This is corruption, free governance.
05:07We have brought transparency in every department.
05:11No pry for transfers and postings.
05:15and the engineer who wants to move near her family does not have to pay for it.
05:22Contracts are now open.
05:24Any contractor may bid, no suitcases.
05:28This is a small change on paper, but in real life, it is a revolution.
05:40We passed a resolution demanding the abolition of NEET
05:46so that poor village government school students dream of becoming a doctor in protected
05:54and mark my words, one day NEET examination will be abolished by the parliament where it was passed.
06:05We passed a resolution against FCRA, restrictions that seek to curb the voice of minorities.
06:14We passed a resolution against delimitation that will punish Tamil Nadu for controlling the overpopulation.
06:23These are not new ideas.
06:25These are the value Anna thought, Periyar thought and revolutionary leader Ambedkar thought.
06:31As Dr. Ambedkar said, political democracy cannot survive unless social democracy lies beneath it.
06:40We are only carrying those ideas forward.
06:43Tamil Nadu is the second largest economy in India.
06:46Our factories, our ports, our engineer, our farmer, our worker contribute to this nation.
06:54And yet, our voice is not here in Delhi.
06:58Our representation is not sufficient.
07:03I ask everyone to hear the simple question.
07:08Why is it acceptance to make policies for North India, Bimara states, but never for South India?
07:17Why must we give more and receive less?
07:21We are only asking for what is fair.
07:25And I say this clearly today.
07:29A Prime Minister must emerge from the South.
07:33And the Prime Minister will emerge from the South.
07:36Maybe not now.
07:39In future.
07:42He will represent every Indian and will treat every Indian equality.
07:50Lee Kwan.
07:51Lee Kwan Yu.
07:52Said it is best.
07:55My primary preoccupation was it give every citizen a stake in the country and it's a future.
08:05He took Singapore from a poor port to a first world nation in one generation.
08:16Not by luck, by discipline, by clean government, by planning 50 years ahead and by making sure ordinary family owned
08:28a share of the future.
08:30Once again, as Lee Kwan said, we may be a small country, but we must have big dreams.
08:39We are looking at the same scale of development in Tamil Nadu, world-class roads, world-class ports, world-class
08:46schools and hospitals.
08:48We will not build by destroying the livelihoods of the poor, the fishermen, the farmer, the small trader and the
08:57daily wager worker.
08:58If they are lived behind, it is not development.
09:02Every family must hold a stake in the new Tamil Nadu.
09:07Tamil Nadu will become the number of destination in India for the production and service industry.
09:13The global investor will look at our state first.
09:18We are a state with over 50 percentage youth.
09:21We will build on the innovation economy.
09:24We will become the new Silicon Valley.
09:27Our farmers will get fair price.
09:31Their production will be value-added here.
09:34And it will be the export globally.
09:37We will build world-class stadiums, academies, Olympic academies.
09:41And we bring home Olympic medals in future.
09:44Particularly in 2026, we have the vision in Olympics.
09:48And Tamil Nadu will become the sports capital in India.
09:52Friends, 100A is a small beginning.
09:55But it is an honest beginning.
09:58We are honest for people.
10:01This will be a government that the people remember forever.
10:11And finally, I have one small request to make.
10:14When I was a college student living in a sports hostel,
10:19India Today Tamil magazine was where I read my national politics.
10:25It is a deep analysis and that is research given me for my first real understanding of national politics.
10:34Particularly 1999, non-Congress, India government.
10:41Five years watched by government.
10:42So I started political science when I was in 2002.
10:48So, 2002 to almost 10 years, more than 10 years,
10:52I learned from national politics, India Today Tamil magazine.
10:56So that place at the heart of Indian political journalism must be held on it.
11:05Keep the analysis, keep the research neutral.
11:09The readers and viewers want nothing more.
11:12So thanks to Optionity, my Tamil audience,
11:17Elorikum Manakam,
11:20India Today, Noorahadu Nal,
11:24Kandipa and the Noorahadu Nal are a foundation,
11:28planning, vision, Honorable CM are a vision.
11:33One hundred years,
11:35one hundred years,
11:35one hundred years,
11:36one hundred years,
11:38one hundred years,
11:42one hundred years,
11:42one hundred years,
11:42one hundred years,
11:44one hundred years,
11:44one hundred years,

11:51one hundred years,
11:52one hundred years,
11:55one hundred years,
11:56one hundred years,
11:59one hundred years,
12:02veteran parties, DMK and ATMK, Tamil Nadu is totally different politics.
12:08For example, Karnataka and Makarasta, different ideology electoral politics, BJP or Congress.
12:17But Tamil Nadu electoral politics, DMK, Anna after Mr. Kalinger, then MGR, 1977, MGR,
12:29two names are one ideology leader. Kalinger, because our founder, DMK founder is Anna.
12:38MGR is the same ideology, same ambitions, then that is the party name.
12:58Left parties, Congress, Dalit parties, Minority parties, Muslim League.
13:07All around, Tamil Nadu is more, Dravidan means equality. One word, simple.
13:16Dravidan means equality. That is what you want to say.
13:21So, 96% of Ode Bank covered left-wing mindset, equality.
13:32So, Tamil Nadu politics, there is no gap in right-wing.
13:36So, for example, the Ode Bank share, DMK when Kalinger, Madam Jailer, almost they controlled 70%.
13:46Then after that, PMK, Communist and VCK and the Congress and IML, almost it's covered 20%.
13:54So, 95 to 96% same ideology. So, we don't have any ideological problem.
13:59Why we are focusing on corruption.
14:03Why we are focusing on corruption?
14:11But people elect to do transparency government and development.
14:18Who is the only development? Who is the only corruption?
14:23Who is the only corruption?
14:26But, Adhikapuram, after Jayalatha, Madam and Kalinger, sir, Adhikapuram, it's a big vacancy.
14:342021, how we win the election?
14:372021, people want an administrator.
14:41Mr. MK Stalin is an administrator, not a leader.
14:44So, Mr. EPS failed administration after Amma and after Kalinger.
14:50So, people looked, Mr. M.K. Stalin, sir, family domination, transparency, or government urwakun anachar.
15:01But, that was all urwakun moodi ilha.
15:03So, EPS, ADMK, EPS, sir, failed the government up to 21.
15:11So, new government failed the transparency system and corruption and development.
15:16So, our leader started a party.
15:19Same idea as our icons.
15:22Periyar, Anna, Periyar, Ambitkar.
15:26At the first time, Tamil Nadu odi ishri ilha, only the TVK party, Periyarayum, Pura├зyalar Ambitkarayum, ideological leader announced pannanadu.
15:37Before that, in Tamil Nadu, the revolutionary leader, Dr. Ambitkar, ishri ilha, look like in Tamil Nadu, or Dalit leader
15:46abdini.
15:47No.
15:47Our first TVK party, very clear message, even our first conference, in the ideological leader, two women, three,
15:56adilal mukhiyama, Periyarayum, Ambitkarayum, konduvandadu, or migaperya strength, Tamil Nadu, Tamil Nadu, Tamil Nadu,
16:03So, ideologically, we said, then, what is the vision?
16:07Appadini, solum poludhu, our leader, every campaign side, transparency, people's safety, women's safety, and youth employment.
16:16In the corruption odi ya, leakages, 100 rupees, Raji Gandhi, or 30 sonar, former prime minister,
16:23number one, the 100 rupees koduta, or keela, one, the 20 rupees koda, one, the makkalta, poopantikida abdini.
16:29So, ideologically, we are set, DMK, ADMK, everyone, it's same ideology.
16:35But, the administration, we are, everyone, focusing the electoral politics, pracharam pannarom, ruling party, appos pannarom,
16:46leader vandhu, ovvaru pracharathlim, ovvaru campaignlim, connect pannar, lacks and lacks people.
16:51We believed before election, even our editor, and vandhu interview pannar, what I said, exactly, we delivered.
17:01We said, definitely, we are going to win. In the last interview, I have not mentioned the number.
17:09I think you remember. I have never mentioned the number. I never said, I am going to win 200.
17:14I never said, I am going to win 150. But, we said, of course, we are going to form, we
17:20are going to cross 100,
17:22three-digit number, we are going to form the government.
17:26Because of the TVK, every national media, before election, three months before,
17:33allaharum pannar dhinnanna, adhu vandhu ovvaru zhenshi party, ovvaru yengsters party, apodinna.
17:40No. Zhenshi and yengsters, in our campaign lal, road to guandanga, pracharam pannanga yenggu loda.
17:48But, the real revolution, in the first time revolution, see, in the DMK, was before,
17:55or a sexy sound archi, kurutthu kumunadhi, shootout archi, two-language system fighter, revolution.
18:02ADMK, MGR, more than 30 years politics, experience, grassroot, he understood what is grassroot.
18:09But, the leader, the woman, the mother and sisters believed in our leader.
18:20Aungadhaan, odo nambi kya uruvakki yirundhaar.
18:23Ithadhaan, pracharuthala nangang paaththoam.
18:25I am the first person, the witness.
18:29The first meeting, the Thirichi, almost 70% of women, in the street, with kids.
18:38One woman, that is the movement, the women want to the revolution, the women want to the change.
18:49Ithaparkakavang ppurinjikile, we understand, nambi enna pannaporom abdi inna.
18:55So, exactly, we reached 108, then all left ideology, communists and congress and IUML, everyone support us.
19:07Maybe we are number, number, everyone is a DMK client, you are just 108.
19:13But, what is 108?
19:17Almost, 80% of MLA's lower middle class family.
19:25Ithadhaan, you are the leader, Mr. C. Joseph Vijayavarugal, that is a revolutionary.
19:44One is a Zensi Elengar Arrasiluk, after Anna, 1967, you just, my question, the DMK current leaders, maybe them, teamukavoday,
19:58varlalare, paddikila.
20:00Electionukku munaatari, ithensi party, this is a Zensi party, Zensi party and then, one is a Kaili Kindle, petsuit and
20:05then,
20:06and the idea of this is,
20:10including Mr. Kalengar Karanadhyi,
20:13he has 26 years old.
20:15Kalengar's life is 20 years old.
20:18So, the idea of this is,
20:21he created a new idea.
20:23And that's the idea of this,
20:26in this in the 2026 election,
20:29how do you know what you know,
20:30how do you know what you know,
20:31how do you know what you know?
20:31I don't know what you know.
20:33Just 5,000 rupees,
20:341,000 rupees,
20:35women vote.
20:36No.
20:37You cannot build a trust,
20:40particularly women.
20:41Women get a trust,
20:44you should prove every day.
20:46You should prove every day.
20:48That is the women vote bank.
20:50So,
20:51in the electoral politics,
20:55DMK is the current leaders.
20:58They don't know what is
21:00a youth revolution.
21:02They don't know what is a women revolution.
21:04So,
21:06it's a big benefit,
21:09people of God.
21:10And,
21:11that's the truth.
21:12They will be the same people.
21:15See,
21:17this is a big benefit.
21:18They are going to go to the office in a daily park and they are going to go to the
21:23office.
21:24They are going to go to the DMK in a district headquarters.
21:31They are going to go to the TVKO.
21:38From the first day, they come to a political mock.
21:47What do they say? What do they say?
21:49What do they say?
21:51They are going to go to a department.
21:54Particularly corruption.
21:56For example, my department, BWD highways, tomorrow my demand actually.
22:01So, how to stop the leakage?
22:05How do they get to the Treasury?
22:07How do they get to the government? Just 100 days.
22:10But the opposition party, they are going to ask questions about the DMK.
22:16They are going to ask questions.
22:18But the biggest problem is the DMK.
22:20Whatever the questions, the questions answer is the DMK.
22:26Because they ruled more than 25 years.
22:30NEET.
22:30NEET.
22:33NEET.
22:35NEET.
22:38NEET.
22:41NEET.
22:59NEET.
23:02NEET.
23:10NEET.
23:11NEET.
23:13NEET.
23:17NEET.
23:19NEET.
23:20NEET.
23:22NEET.
23:28NEET.
23:33NEET.
23:50NEET.
23:53NEET.
23:55NEET.
23:55NEET.
23:56NEET.
23:56NEET.
23:56NEET.
23:57NEET.
23:58NEET.
23:59NEET.
24:00NEET.
24:02NEET.
24:04NEET.
24:04Even every tender system, everything right now controlled by dashboards, AM office, even small, for example, leaders say,
24:17the leader of the media, the leader of the media, they just cut over CM, just cut and telecast, first
24:41time in Tamil Nadu ST, he opened up for live.
24:48For live, some advisors on the CM to say, no, open up, you know, we are a very strong opposition
25:08party right now, DMK 57 and ADMK right now, 41.
25:12So, DMK and the opposition parties watched every movement, every file.
25:18We need it, the strong, the good democracy for development.
25:22We need a strong opposition parties to watching us, to raise the question in the assembly.
25:30That is a democracy, our leader made it.
25:36So, he is a very democracy person to open up everything in assembly, live and even every contract, open contract.
25:48But, so, Tamil Nadu is ready for development, like a, to fight with the global level, not interstate for global
26:01level.
26:02Singapore, Hong Kong, UK, US, look like that.
26:08We need that kind of innovations, innovation cities, positive economy.
26:14So, before positive economy, we need a clean up, transparency, corruption less.
26:20So, I welcome all industry people, investors.
26:23Tamil Nadu right now is ready for the investing part.
26:26We don't have any political pressure, single window system, very friendly, every ministers are friendly.
26:34No family Raj, no monarchy, manna Raji, two kiriya pattadhu.
26:39My first voice in Ambedkar book, I just joined Ambedkar is my connectivity.
26:47In Ambedkar book, I raised the voice in front of our leader, Mr. Vijay.
26:52I met first time, I told Ambedkar, manna Raji, two kiriya pattoum.
26:59So, engalode, thalewarode, prasharathnale, makkalode support, manna Raji, two kiriya pattadhu.
27:06I am sure, I am confident, nangak 100% tapu sayya matom, makkalode makkala harupom.
27:14Korayindha bacham, next three elections, our leader will be a CM.
27:19This is a very strong message, we know how to handle the election, we know how to handle DMK.
27:28Because we are honest, we are honest.
27:31So, Nala, I think the first channel and TV to celebrating with us,
27:39very, what is it, very strong and emotional connect with India Today and TVK.
27:47And election day, before one day also, you expressed what is truth.
27:52We marked 105 to 110, same, the first channel.
27:58India way, it's a TVK, will be the power and funding, so I thanks India Today management for honest report.
28:08Because Tamil Nadu, there is no one who has honest report.
28:13When a media, there is no one who has the power and influence on the media.
28:31It's a revolution after 60 years. It's not easy. This revolution and history is not easy.
28:39This is the first election in Tamil Nadu after 1967.
28:50So, I thank India Today Management and all editors and reporters, all students.
28:56So, thank you so much. Any issues, we are ready to face media, we are open up.
29:06If any mistakes, we are going to ratify our every policy.
29:12Thank you so much. Thank you so much.
29:26Can I request the Honourable Minister to please come back on stage so we can hand over a token of
29:31appreciation?
29:32Rajdeep, could you do the honours, please?
29:33Thank you so much, guys.
