Vijay Targets DMK Amid Rising TVK Popularity

Actor Vijay accuses DMK of enabling BJP's rise in Tamil Nadu, claims his party TVK's success rattles rivals. He criticizes DMK for confusing public agendas and comments on an article in DMK's Murasoli. Vijay urges TVK members to unite and prove their worth to the people.

Actor Vijay has unleashed a verbal attack on the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), suggesting that the party has allowed the Bharatiya Janata Party's 'Lotus' emblem to bloom in Tamil Nadu. He claims this has become evident through DMK's failed attempts to undermine his fledgling party, Thamizhaga Vazhvurimai Katchi (TVK).

During a statement on December 24, Vijay expressed his disapproval of an editorial piece featured in DMK's mouthpiece, Murasoli, alleging the article sought to defame TVK. He accused DMK's leader, Chief Minister M. K. Stalin, of hypocrisy, describing his actions as 'throwing stones' despite standing 'in front of the mirror.'

Vijay criticized DMK for misleading the public with a 'common minimum agenda,' drawing a connection to the DMK's earlier alliance with the BJP from 1999 to 2003. He urged TVK's members to ignore DMK's 'rhetoric' and focus on rallying the public to support TVK's cause.
