Kanniyakumari campaign — southern coast push

The southernmost stop on the campaign's coastal-corridor route placed fisherman livelihoods at the centre. Vijay argued that the Coastal Resilience Authority — the structural reform announced in the manifesto's environmental pillar — would operate with statutory mandate over erosion, mangrove restoration and saline-intrusion defence in 13 coastal districts.

Specific guarantees: legal aid for fishermen detained by Sri Lankan navy, kerosene-subsidy restoration tied to active fishing-license records, and a market-linkage portal for coastal cooperatives.

The address closed with a quotation from Anjalai Ammal — one of the four legacy figures named in the party's ideological lineage at the Vikravandi General Council in 2025.
