Accuracy matters
VettriThalapathy.com is an independent fan tribute that reports on Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay and the TVK government. We check facts against official records and credible media — and when we get something wrong, we fix it openly.
Our standards
Figures come from official sources — the Election Commission of India, Government Orders, the Assembly and official press releases — or from at least one credible news organisation, named in the article.
Political claims are reported as the speaker’s own words. Trade estimates, allegations and complaints are labelled as such — not as findings.
When a fact is wrong, we correct the page and record the change below. Small typos are fixed without a log entry.
Email us with the page link, what is wrong and — if you can — a source for the correct information. Every article also has a “Report a correction” button.
