DMK Rejects Vijay Free Cars for 59 MLAs Citing Fiscal Health

When Chief Minister Vijay announced plans to distribute vehicles to all 59 state legislators, it quickly triggered a major political showdown over **Vijay free** auto perks in Tamil Nadu.

Political storm over Vijay free vehicles

A fresh fleet of Mahindra SUVs lined up outside the Secretariat in Chennai, intended for lawmakers to select their new official rides following the high-profile government announcement.

However, the ruling DMK party firmly turned down the offer, with senior leader Udhayanidhi Stalin stating that accepting the vehicles would be irresponsible given the state government’s heavy financial debt.

While the administration sought to clarify the logistics of the procurement, the legislators opted to walk away from the perk entirely, citing fiscal responsibility as the driving factor behind their collective rejection.
