Tamil Nadu: Vijay Slams DMK, BJP at TVK Anniversary Meet
Vijay spoke against the ‘three language policy’ that was sought to be implemented in Tamil Nadu by the BJP government and gave a typical punch line twist to it by saying ‘what bro? It’s very wrong bro.’
Chennai: Assuring his party office-bearers of a definite victory in the 2026 Assembly elections, founder president of the Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) Vijay took a broadside against both the DMK and BJP, urging the two ruling parties to ‘get out’ and accusing them of being in a league but pretending to be fighting it out on X channel, just like LKG and UKG children, by trending hashtags.
Speaking at the first anniversary celebrations of the party, organized at a plush five-star resort in Mamallapuram on Wednesday, Vijay spoke against the ‘three language policy’ that was sought to be implemented in Tamil Nadu by the BJP government and gave a typical punch line twist to it by saying ‘what bro? It’s very wrong bro.’
The event kicked off with the top party leaders signing a banner that had a wide range of slogans opposing the National Education Policy, Crimes against Women and such issues written on them, targeting both the Union BJP government and the DMK government in the State.
To the prevalent criticism against the party that it was full of young people, Vijay said that young people can achieve more and cited examples from the times when C N Annadurai launched the DMK and M G Ramachandran started the AIADMK. A similar success story would unfold in 2026, he said.
Touching upon all the touchy political issues that are raging, Vijay said that he had strengthened the party’s infrastructure by appointing booth level agents across the State and that the process would be completed with all the 69,000 booths having TVK’s team.
Politics was a strange place where no one could predict who would oppose whom and who would support whom, he said and spoke suggestively of the ruling party peeved over his entry into politics as the people who had been believing ‘them’ and voting for ‘them’ so long were looking up to him.
Well known poll strategist, Prasanth Kishor, who was presented at the event and was led to stage by Vijay himself, however, created a mild flutter when he refused to sign the banner with the ‘Get Out’ slogan emblazoned on it, giving rise to speculations since he had worked for both the BJP and the DMK in the past elections.
In his address, Kishor said that the present DMK government was the most corrupt of all regimes in the country so far, though he acknowledged that Tamil Nadu had achieved a lot in developmental parameters compared to the other States. If Tamil Nadu could get rid of corruption, communalism and dynasty it would be a perfect model for development. While starting his address, Vijay, too, saluted Kishor, the ‘special guest,’ first.
The strict security arrangements at the venue to restrict the entry of people saw the private agency bouncers pushing a media person, which caused a flutter.
