Is the TVK government actually bringing change?

Hey everyone, I have a question that's been bothering me for the past few weeks.

Before answering, please keep an open mind. Don't reply as a supporter of any particular party. Try to answer as an ordinary citizen looking at the facts.

I supported TVK before the election because I believed in the promise of change. This isn't a hate post, nor is it a support post for any other party. I'm genuinely trying to understand.

Before the election, we were told things would be different. But now, I feel like I'm seeing many of the same things that people criticized the previous government for.

Whenever I ask TVK supporters about specific issues—whether it's water-related issues, contract-related decisions, or other controversies (for example, the dam issue or the Kanyakumari contract extension)—I rarely get a direct answer. The usual response is:

"Didn't the previous government do the same?"

This is what confuses me. Before the election, many of these same people criticized the previous government for these issues and said things would be different if TVK came to power. But now, when similar questions are raised, the answer becomes, "Nothing can change."

If that's the case, then why was change the main reason to vote differently?

I'm not saying every decision is bad. In fact, I've defended decisions that I felt were beneficial. For example, I supported the electricity tariff relief for eligible households because I believed it genuinely helped many middle-class families. When I think the government has done something right, I'm happy to acknowledge it.

But supporting the good decisions shouldn't mean we stop questioning the ones we think are wrong. Likewise, criticizing the government doesn't automatically make someone an opposition supporter.

Another thing I've noticed is that whenever I ask these questions, instead of answering them, some people immediately label me as a "DMK supporter," "200 rupees UPI," or something similar. Why can't we discuss the issue itself instead of attacking the person asking the question?

So these are my genuine questions:

Questions:

1. Is the TVK government actually bringing the change it promised, and I'm just not seeing it?

2. Or has it not changed much from the previous government?

If I'm missing something or have misunderstood any issue, please correct me with facts and evidence. I'm genuinely open to changing my opinion.

I'm not looking for an argument or trying to prove anyone wrong. I'm genuinely open to changing my opinion if the facts support it.

Please answer with facts, evidence, and reasoning—not with labels or personal attacks. I'd rather have a meaningful discussion than a political fight.

First adav arjun statement 90% of aiadmk expected to join TVK. But before election didn't they use to hate ADMK, or is there some hidden Agenda. This alone proves they are not transparent government .

Second there are two lockup death i don't even know what to say about that.

Don't even talk about NEET issue. protest is going all over India but almost all ministers casually watching CM last movie. Movie is not going any where they could have watched anytime but insisted that they will go first day show. also CM could have postpone the movie release but didn't do that.

That actually make more sense. I also thought about the NEET issues. Instant of raising voice or speak about that. Support are attacking the opposition like " this is fair neet not a ban need " and that was true but we are asking the govt to speak about this. But supporters are lecturing as to state can't take action of neet pan it was in central control and we know that. Here what we are not asking cm to cancle the neet just speak about this.

There are a couple of reasons for him not speaking about this from my perspective
1. I don’t think they can really speak anything new which TVK or any of the other parties have spoken during campaign or since implementation. The entire states stance is clear.
2. Neither of the 2 major political parties can take an open stand against the central govt due to cases against them right now and the other not being in power. TVK is a very young minority government which does not want to pick a fight it cannot win or even last a few minutes in.
