Vijay says DMK made 'looting' its principle

In his first public outreach since the Karur stampede in which 41 people died in September, actor-politician Vijay resumed his Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) campaign from Kancheepuram district on Sunday, primarily attacking the ruling DMK government of Tamil Nadu, ahead of the 2026 assembly elections.

Vijay addressed people and party workers inside at a private college, which was restricted to about 1,500 people who were given passes. He drew on the legacies of DMK founder C N Annadurai and AIADMK founder M G Ramachandran (MGR) to vow that his politics is about people’s welfare.
