TVK will script political history in 2026 Assembly election, says actor Vijay

The Assembly election next year will see the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) scripting a new chapter in Tamil Nadu’s political history similar to the achievements of the regional parties in the 1967 and 1977 Assembly elections, actor-politician Vijay, who heads TVK, said here on Thursday.

Referring to the maiden victory of DMK in 1967 and the memorable victory a decade later of AIADMK under MG Ramachandran, Vijay said his TVK party will set a record in Tamil Nadu’s political history in the 2026 Assembly election.

“TVK’s politics is real, emotional, for the betterment of people; and only for doing good to them,” the actor said addressing a mammoth crowd at the party’s second conference at Parapathi here.

“This is our second conference themed ‘history of voters’ returns’. As in the 1967 and 1977 election, Tamil Nadu politics will see major political change in 2026. Such a spectacular history will repeat,” he said.

TVK reflected the voices of the people and that it was an unstoppable voice, and an unstoppable force, he added.

Pointing out the criticism by his political adversaries about his electoral prospects, Vijay said TVK will prove them wrong through its achievements.

“Don’t underestimate us, the people who throng our conference will not only vote but also render a blow to the anti-people government... A lion is always a lion - the king of the jungle — though there are so many animals like jackals in the forest,” he said and added this description was a clear declaration.
