Kollywood’s tamil superstar turned politician and founder of Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK), Vijay, said on sunday that the bjp is the ideological opponent of the TVK while the DMK is its political adversary. Vijay addressing a massive gathering in Villupuram district’s Vikravandi said “There is a group that has been creating divisions within society. Those who create divisions are our first enemy. Those who claim to uphold Dravidian ideology but are exploiting tamil Nadu as a family enterprise are our next rivals. The bjp is our ideological opponent while the DMK is our political adversary”.
Meanwhile he also pledged to follow the legacies of Dravidian icon Periyar, former chief minister Kamaraj, B.R. Ambedkar, rani Velu Nachiyar, and anjali Ammal. He assured his supporters there would be no “adjustment politics or compromise,” adding that tamil Nadu’s political landscape needs transformative change. Vijay said “I have not entered politics for personal gain but out of social commitment. I may be a newcomer in politics but my commitment remains undaunted. Our party’s core enemies are corruption and communalism”.
Moreover Vijay also hinted at power-sharing, saying, “We will provide a share of power to any political party that supports us,” indirectly referencing DMK alliance partners such as the congress and Dalit party, VCK, who have previously sought power-sharing in tamil Nadu. He assured that TVK would not act as a front for any other political party. After years of anticipation, Vijay officially launched TVK on february 2, 2024, and unveiled the party’s flag and symbol on august 22 at the party headquarters in Chennai.
