Vijay Named TVK’s CM Candidate as Party Empowers Him to Seal 2026 Alliances

The general council doubled as his first address since the Karur stampede, featuring 12 policy resolutions.

Overview

  • Delegates unanimously authorised Vijay to negotiate and finalise pre-poll alliances for the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly election.
  • The council adopted 12 resolutions covering women’s safety, compensation for rain-hit farmers, protection of the Pallikaranai marsh, stronger action over fishermen detentions, and opposition to the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.
  • A separate resolution sought enhanced police protection for Vijay and for supporters at TVK events in response to crowd management concerns.
  • In his first speech since September 27, Vijay accused Chief Minister M. K. Stalin and the DMK of politicising the Karur tragedy, cast the 2026 race as a TVKDMK contest, and questioned the Madras High Court SIT order while citing Supreme Court observations.
  • The Mahabalipuram meeting opened with two minutes’ silence for the 41 victims, and a resolution described the Karur stampede as “a conspiracy.”
