Actor and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay addressed the crowd of supporters in Thanjavur on Wednesday (March 4) as part of his campaign. He launched a strong critique of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin and the DMK government and urged Tamil Nadu’s voters to give him a chance.
Vijay on Jana Nayagan delay
As per the latest update from news agency ANI, Vijay said, “Listen to what I say, the next government will be a TVK government. Fishermen, remain hopeful; your protection will be fully ensured. During the release of the film Jananayagan, many people raised their voices in support. Even our Chief Minister voiced his support. I thank them for that. Chief Minister, you may try to silence me, but you cannot silence every Vijay in every household. They have already begun their campaign.”
Vijay drew parallels between cricket and the upcoming Assembly elections, criticising the DMK for framing the contest as ‘Team Delhi vs Team Tamil Nadu’, and said, “Ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections, DMK members are projecting it as a contest between the Tamil Nadu team and the Delhi team. Even in cricket, the Delhi team cannot match the Tamil Nadu team. Tamil Nadu is TVK, and TVK is Tamil Nadu. All such divisions of Tamil Nadu team versus Delhi team will be set aside–the TVK team will win.”
