In a bold political move, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam leader Vijay took a stand against the ruling DMK government by criticizing the stringent conditions imposed on his statewide tour. This campaign marks the actor-politician's initial step towards the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.
Vijay alleged that the ruling party's 'empty publicity model' has eroded public trust, asserting the need for a government that values transparency and accountability. Drawing inspiration from Dravidian stalwarts like Periyar EV Ramasamy and Dr. BR Ambedkar, Vijay expressed optimism for a successful campaign with grassroots support.
