Vijay sharpens attacks on BJP, DMK, and AIADMK; says TVK will lead ’26 battle
Invoking yesteryear icons like MGR and Vijayakant as inspirations, reeling out punch dialogues by the dozen, and unleashing fiery attacks on the regimes at both at the State and Centre, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam's (TVK) president and actor Vijay offered a short but sumptuous feast for his frenzied fans at the party’s second State conference in Madurai on Thursday.
Declaring that the TVK would form an alliance for 2026 and share power with allies after the polls, Vijay said Tamil Nadu was ready for a new political force. "Is it possible to seize power, they ask. Vijay's group is one that will hunt down anti-people rulers in the upcoming elections and pave the way for the Fort St George," he said to thunderous response from the large gathering.
Comparing himself to a lion, Vijay said, "The lion’s roar is heard miles away. It hunts only the strong and living, never preys on the weak or rotten. A lion may be alone, but it fears nothing. It always remains the king of the jungle. This is not just a description but also a declaration."
Vijay identified the BJP as the TVK's "ideological enemy" and the DMK as its "political enemy". He also extended a call to the AIADMK cadre, accusing their leadership of betraying MGR's legacy. "The AIADMK-BJP alliance is one of convenience,” he said, and added that the fight in 2026 is between TVK and DMK, clearly trying to woo the AIADMK sympathisers to vote for him to oust the DMK.
