"The government led by Vijay, the secular and true leader of the people, has proudly completed 100 days in office. These first 100 days of the government are not merely days that have passed on a calendar; they mark a historic transformation etched in the history of Tamil Nadu. This is not merely rhetoric for an election. It is a politics that understands its responsibility to the people and acts accordingly. With the overwhelming support of the people, the government has, from its very first day, understood the pulse of the people, stepped forward with new thinking, and implemented various welfare schemes during its first 100 days," he said.
The Speaker said the government, with the welfare of the poor and the safety of women as priorities, has announced several initiatives in 100 days.
"With the welfare of the poor and the safety of women as priorities, the government has made several announcements and introduced various initiatives, including 200 units of free electricity for every household, the Singappen Special Force, a crop-loan waiver of ₹6,000 crore, the Vetri Veedu Kattu Scheme to build houses for homeless people, the Annan Seer Scheme, the Thaai Maaman Thanga Modhiram Scheme, and several other initiatives. These measures have proved that this is a government for the people.A stronger Tamil Nadu, a more powerful Tamil Nadu, an egalitarian Tamil Nadu, a corruption-free Tamil Nadu," he added.
He further said that CM Vijay focused on files and policies to improve livelihoods "rather than seeking the glare of publicity" immediately upon assuming office.
"With the aim of laying a strong foundation within these 100 days, Chief Minister Vijay, immediately upon assuming office, focused on files and policies that would improve the livelihoods of the people, rather than seeking the glare of publicity. From the very beginning of this government, many mocked those without prior experience in governance, calling them a paper boat. But through our Chief Minister's hard work over these 100 days, we are now navigating the vast ocean of public support with great momentum," Prabhakar said in an Assembly.
The speaker said the coming years will bring growth, jobs, women's dignity, farmer prosperity and better education.

Praising the CM's conduct in the House, Prabhakar said,"We have also witnessed in the Chief Minister a quality of welcoming those with differing opinions, leaving no room for political leg-pulling, and renewing the traditions of the Legislative Assembly. He added that the CM, who accomplished remarkable things both in the world of cinema and in the people's movement, will go beyond the achievements of these 100 days and create many more achievements in the days ahead--there is no doubt about it."
"O king who has demonstrated achievements in 100 days, may you create a history that will be spoken of for a century. May you crush every conspiracy to dust and earn the enduring influence and support of the people," Prabhakar said.
On behalf of the Assembly, he extended his best wishes to the Chief Minister and his Council of Ministers, expressing hope that they would achieve more milestones and transform Tamil Nadu into the foremost state in India.
