TVK chief Vijay to kickstart ‘I am coming’ Tamil Nadu Assembly election campaign

Tiruchirappalli (Tamil Nadu): Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam founder, actor-politician Vijay is all set to begin his ‘I am coming,’ state-wide campaign here on Saturday for the Tamil Nadu Assembly election due by March-April next year.

The TVK chief, during his campaign, is expected by his supporters to sharpen his attack on the ruling parties at the state and Centre, the DMK and the BJP, and the party had been taking feedback from office-bearers on talking points relevant to specific regions as well, party sources said.

A caravan-like, custom-built campaign vehicle, fitted with a public address system has been readied by the party for Vijay’s use during his campaign.

He said that the TVK understands the pulse of the people and the current political landscape, and is moving forward with the noble vision of establishing a “conscience-driven democracy for the people.”

Vijay also took a dig at the ruling DMK government, saying that the people of Tamil Nadu have completely lost faith in the current government, which has been deceiving them with false promises and empty publicity stunts.

He further slammed the MK Stalin government for imposing several restrictions on his meeting by the police.

“As the leader of a political party, we aspire to meet the people in a democratic manner. In this context, unlike any other political leader in Tamil Nadu’s history, the police have imposed security restrictions only on our party for public gatherings,” he said.

“Rather than shirking its responsibility under the guise of security, the government and the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu must ensure the safety of our party members and the general public, upholding their moral obligation beyond political differences,” he added.
