Chennai, March 26: Political activity is heating up in Tamil Nadu as the state prepares for the upcoming assembly elections. Political parties have intensified their campaigning efforts. In a significant move, actor-turned-politician Vijay has announced that his party, Tamilga Vetrik Kazhagam (TVK), will contest all 234 assembly seats independently, signaling an aggressive electoral strategy.
This decision positions the party as a noteworthy new contender in a political landscape traditionally dominated by established Dravidian parties.
As part of its campaign, the party is set to introduce its candidates at a high-profile public meeting in Mamallapuram on March 27. Sources indicate that Vijay will personally present the candidates and outline the party’s vision and electoral roadmap, marking a pivotal moment in TVK’s preparations.
Insiders suggest that Vijay is likely to contest from the Perambur constituency in Chennai, though official confirmation is still awaited. His potential candidacy has generated considerable interest, particularly among first-time voters and the youth, who form a crucial part of his support base.
TVK is gearing up for a comprehensive campaign launch on March 28. Vijay is expected to address several rallies in key Chennai constituencies, including Perambur, Kolathur, Villivakkam, Anna Nagar, and Virugambakkam. Reports indicate that permissions have been granted for gatherings of up to 3,000 people at each venue. However, the Election Commission has rejected requests to hold campaign events in 12 additional constituencies due to regulatory constraints.
These restrictions were imposed following a tragic stampede during a public event in Karur on September 27, 2025, which resulted in the deaths of 41 individuals. In response, the Tamil Nadu police have enforced strict guidelines on public events associated with the actor-politician to prevent similar incidents.
As the election date approaches, Vijay and his party’s entry is expected to add a new dimension to the electoral contest, while established coalitions continue to strengthen their positions across the state.
