Overview

• Speaking from a campaign bus in Nagapattinam, Vijay pressed his statewide outreach and then headed to Tiruvarur as he builds TVK for its first Assembly contest.
• He said officials imposed unusual conditions on his events and claimed a cut microphone in Tiruchirappalli and a power disruption in Ariyalur, asking whether such steps would be taken during visits by national leaders.
• Sharpening his critique of the ruling party, he accused the DMK of dynastic governance and questioned whether Chief Minister M. K. Stalin’s foreign trips benefit family investments rather than Tamil Nadu.
• He highlighted fishermen facing arrests by the Sri Lankan Navy and farmers losing harvests for lack of storage, faulted the DMK’s response as limited to letters, and labeled the BJP government at the Centre “fascist” for alleged discrimination against Tamil Nadu fishermen.
• He defended holding Saturday events to avoid disrupting work, reiterated that 2026 will be his first electoral test, and pledged advocacy for Eelam Tamils as part of TVK’s platform.
