Former Director General of Police of Tamil Nadu and BJP leader Pon Manickavel publicly praised a recent statement made by CM Vijay regarding transparency and accountability in governance.
"Has any CM ever said this before?" Manickavel asked, underscoring how rare such a public commitment to police autonomy is from a sitting chief minister.
Manickavel was particularly appreciative of Vijay's stated commitment to keeping police free from political interference — a principle he championed during his own tenure as DGP.
The cross-party praise from someone outside TVK's ideological circle was widely shared and seen as validation of the new CM's governance style.
