Why it matters
This reflects the political branding of a state leader and the administrative response to an international crisis involving state residents.
TVK president and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay was increasingly being recognised at the national level for his governance initiatives, with the national media portraying him as a national figure, said Minister for Revenue and Disaster Management K.A. Sengottaiyan on Friday.
Mr. Vijay was also scripting history by directly visiting government departments and public facilities to understand public concerns and assess their functioning, he said.
Speaking to reporters at the Coimbatore Airport, Mr. Sengottaiyan said the Chief Minister travelled on Metro Rail, visited Puzhal prison and inspected drinking water project works in Chennai to understand people’s problems first hand. Such direct field inspections would help the party assess ground realities and formulate measures to address public grievances, he said.
