Actor Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam rally LIVE updates from Vikravandi: The Tamil superstar said that his party will travel along the paths laid by Periyar E.V. Ramasamy, K. Kamaraj, Babasaheb Ambedkar, Velu Nachiar and Anjalai Ammal.
Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam Rally LIVE, Latest News Today: In his first political speech at Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam’s rally, actor-turned-politician Vijay said that “those spoiling the country with divisive politics” are his party’s “primary ideological enemy”. He further said that some had been “painting anyone entering politics with a particular colour”, adding that they were fooling people and doing “underground dealings”. Taking a dig at the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu, Vijay further alleged that one “family” is looting the state “in the name of Dravida model”.
Entrusting his faith in the people of Tamil Nadu, Vijay highlighted his belief that they would vote to make TVK the single largest party in the 2026 Assembly elections in the state. He said that thereafter, if parties want to form an alliance with his party, the TVK would give them a share in the government. Vijay also recalled the suicide of NEET aspirant and Ariyalur student Anitha, while adding that women would play a vital role in his political career. The State Conference of his newly formed political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, marks Vijay’s formal launch into the world of politics.
What type of politics does Vijay represent? While taking about TVK’s ideology, Vijay said that they were not going to “separate Dravidian Nationalism and Tamil Nationalism”. “They are two eyes of this soil. We shouldn’t shrink ourselves to any specific identity,” Vijay added. He said that TVK’s ideology was based on Secular Social Justice ideologies and the party would act based on that. Vijay’s political messaging has a clear focus on inclusivity and Tamil pride. TVK’s launch anthem, “Tamizhan Kodi Parakuthu… Thalaivan Yugam Porakuthu (The Tamil flag flies high… A leader’s era has begun),” is a deliberate attempt to echo the state’s cinematic-political nostalgia
