Chennai: Actor-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) received Rs 13.3 crore in voluntary contributions during the 2025–26 financial year, with just two donors accounting for more than 99 per cent of the total, according to details submitted to the Election Commission of India (ECI).

The disclosures, reported by India Today, showed that Aadhav Arjuna emerged as the party's largest contributor, donating Rs 8.2 crore, or nearly 62 per cent of the total funds received.

RV Ranjithkumar was the second-largest donor, contributing Rs 5 crore. Together, the two accounted for Rs 13.2 crore of the Rs 13.3 crore declared by the party.

The remaining Rs 10 lakh came from two entities based at the same address in Thoothukudi.

Snow Sho, located in Lions Town, contributed Rs 5 lakh through a demand draft. Another Rs 5 lakh was donated by Snow Exports & Imports, which is registered at the same address. This contribution was also made through a demand draft.

The disclosures provide a glimpse into the funding received by Vijay's political outfit during the financial year, revealing that an overwhelming share of its declared voluntary contributions came from two individuals.

Meanwhile, the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) reported receiving approximately Rs 191.19 crore in contributions during the same financial year.

Of this, Rs 125 crore came from Tiger Associates, making it the DMK's largest reported donor.

The Kolkata-based lottery firm has business links to lottery magnate Santiago Martin through Subbayan Nagarajan, its designated partner.

Nagarajan is a longtime associate of Martin, and corporate records indicate that the two are partners in another business entity.

Martin's Future Gaming and Hotel Services had earlier emerged as the country's largest purchaser of electoral bonds before the Supreme Court invalidated the controversial political funding scheme in February 2024.

Following the court's decision, electoral bond disclosures revealed that Future Gaming had donated Rs 509 crore to the DMK through the now-scrapped mechanism.
