The claim, promoted on social media, has backfired after users demanded a list of companies that invested. Critics have dug into the data and found that many of the listed companies are less than four months old, raising suspicions. This is the first time the Vijay administration’s social media campaign has sparked such widespread trolling, offering an early gauge of public scrutiny. ## Coverage - m9.news Tags: Government of Tamil Nadu, Joseph Vijay, Tamil Nadu Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/vijay-govts-rs-1-lakh-crore-investment-claim-draws-trolls/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
