Dravidian Model: TN HR&CE Reportedly Grants Temple Land On Rent For Joseph Vijay’s Political Rally In Erode

The Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) Department under the DMK government has reportedly granted temple land on rent for a political conference organised by Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, the political outfit launched by actor Joseph Vijay, scheduled to be held in Erode on 18 December 2025.

According to a Polimer News report, the HR&CE Department has leased out 19 acres of land belonging to the Vijayapuriamman Temple, located in the Saralai area near the Vijayamangalam toll plaza, for a rental amount of ₹50,000. The land has been allotted specifically for the proposed campaign meeting of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam.

The lease has been granted subject to five conditions laid down by the department. Organisers have been directed to obtain necessary permission from the police to use loudspeakers during the event. They have also been instructed to ensure adequate drinking water, food arrangements and safety measures for those attending the conference.

The department has further stipulated that the entire venue must be cleaned at the organisers’ own expense after the conclusion of the meeting. It has also made it clear that no ownership or usage claims can be made over the temple land once the event is completed.

With these conditions in place, the HR&CE Department has reportedly rented out the temple-owned land for the political event.
