Actor-turned-politician and TVK Chief President Vijay on Friday made the declaration of the inauguration of his maiden state-wide political tour in Tamil Nadu, starting on September 13 from Tiruchi.
Addressing a release shared on X, Vijay declared that his campaign is called “History returns to crown the deserving; your Vijay is coming”. Vijay will begin the campaign at 10:35 am opposite the MGR statue of the Gandhi Market Police Station, Marakkadai, Trichy.
From tomorrow, I, your Vijay, will be touring each and every district to see you my people and speak out on your behalf, as I had pledged in our Madurai convention,” the TVK chief asserted.
The actor-politician stressed that the tour would visit each of Tamil Nadu’s districts before the 2026 state assembly polls, his biggest foray into active politics after establishing TVK.
Vijay targeted the DMK government under Chief Minister MK Stalin and claimed that the police have placed unusual curbs on the gatherings of his party.
“As a political party head, we wish to meet the people democratically. In this backdrop, unlike any other political boss in the history of Tamil Nadu, the police have placed security curbs only on our party,” he added.
He called on the state government to stand by democratic values and asserted: “Instead of fleeing its duty in the name of security, the government and Chief Minister should provide security to our party workers and people at large, fulfilling their moral duty above political lines.”
Starts on September 13, 2025, from Tiruchi.
Election slogan: “Your Vijay is coming.”
First large-scale state-wide political outreach by Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam.
Directed towards mobilizing support before the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections.
With this campaign, Vijay aims to emerge as a strong challenger in Tamil Nadu politics, attempting to take his enormous fan following to the poll arena as a forceful electoral force.
In another development, during his address at a rally in Madurai, Vijay identified the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as “the only ideological enemy” of his party, while the ruling DMK is “the political enemy”. He stated that the BJP foisted various choices such as NEET on Tamil Nadu, without consideration for the economic and social aspects of Tamil Nadu, and demanded the abolishment of the examination. On the DMK, he pleads that they hold a covert agreement with the BJP: therefore, if the ruling party is imposing an existing order, they should be seen to be in breach of principles and hopefully have better alternatives.
