Tamil Nadu: Almost two months after the Karur Stampede, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhgam (TVK) chief Vijay returned to the campaign for the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly election. The actor-turned-politician slammed the MK Stalin-led Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) by stating that the ruling party did nothing for the development of the state. Vijay also accused the DMK of making false promises during the polls and promoting the dynasty politics. While addressing his supporters in an indoor auditorium in Kancheepuram district, the TVK founder emphasised that his ideology was to provide everyone an equal opportunity.

Vijay further pointed out that his party will not be making any false promises to win the polls, adding that the people of Tamil Nadu seek a change in the upcoming polls. “TVK did not make empty claims like DMK on ending NEET, instead it sought shifting education to state list in Constitution,” the TVK founder was quoted as saying by PTI. “DMK will regret opposing me. Gen Z will ensure my victory in the upcoming polls,” he added.
