The political outfit EPS released a video alleging that Chief Minister Vijay and party leader TVK offered money to influence voters before the upcoming Tamil Nadu by‑polls.
EPS, a regional political outfit, uploaded a video on social media claiming that Chief Minister Vijay and senior leader TVK were involved in a cash‑for‑votes scheme. The footage, which was circulated widely on platforms such as YouTube and Twitter, alleges that the two officials promised monetary incentives to voters in select constituencies ahead of the scheduled Tamil Nadu by‑polls.
The accusations come at a sensitive time, as the state prepares for the by‑elections that could alter the balance of power in the legislative assembly. EPS officials said the video was intended to expose malpractice and urged the Election Commission to investigate the matter promptly.
