Interesting to see Vijay's manifesto. The anti-drug zones in colleges is a much-needed promise. As a parent in Chennai, this is my top concern. But Rs. 4000 for graduates? Sounds good on paper, but where will the money come from? Need more details.

All parties make big claims before elections. The real issue is development and jobs. DMK has done some work, but price rise is hurting the common man. Let's hope whoever wins focuses on that. Trichy will vote for development, not just empty promises.

As a young voter from Tamil Nadu, I'm glad the focus is on students and drugs. TVK's promise for timely exams is a big one! Every year there are delays and uncertainty. If they can actually deliver that, it will be a huge relief. 🎓

Respectfully, Minister Nehru's confidence is understandable but feels a bit premature. The alliance's performance in the delta districts will depend on local issues like water for farmers and industrial jobs. Winning all 41 seats is a very tall claim. The opposition is not weak.

A three-way contest is healthy for democracy. Vijay entering the fray might split some votes. But in the end, Tamil Nadu needs stable governance. Hope the focus remains on women's safety, healthcare, and good roads. That's what we vote for!
