Chief Minister Joseph Vijay’s TVK government in Tamil Nadu is facing intense political fire from the BJP over alleged Christian overtures and religious symbolism. The controversy escalated after the state Assembly passed a resolution opposing the FCRA Amendment Bill, 2026, citing impacts on minority-run welfare institutions. Further fuel was added when Finance Minister Marie Wilson made remarks comparing Tamil with Christianity and carried a rosary before presenting the budget. Meanwhile, Speaker JCD Prabhakar joined an anti-abortion rally in Chennai. The opposition BJP has labeled TVK a "Christian party," questioning CM Vijay's silence amid the political storm.
