Vijay's Dramatic Electoral Debut Amid Tragic Stampede

Actor-politician Vijay's first electoral outing was marred by a tragic stampede in Karur, leading to a government SOP review and a CBI probe. Despite the controversy, his appeal among youth and women voters contributed to a significant political impact and competition against the DMK.

Actor-turned-politician Vijay made headlines with his inaugural venture into politics, as suspenseful as his cinematic appearances, shadowed by a tragic stampede in Karur.

The incident claimed 41 lives, prompting the state government to establish new guidelines for political events and a CBI investigation into Vijay's political rally, five months post-incident.

Despite the challenges, Vijay, leading the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, emerged as a formidable opponent to the DMK, earning accolades for his appeal to first-time voters, particularly youth and women, alongside his charismatic personality and substantial fan base.
