Tamil Actor Vijay Launches ‘Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam’ Party for Upcoming Lok Sabha Elections

Actor Vijay and his political party

Tamil actor Vijay made a significant announcement on February 2, declaring his foray into politics ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Unveiling his political party as Tamilaga Vetri Kazham, he conveyed that while the party wouldn’t participate in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, he personally intended to contest in the 2026 Assembly polls. This development places him among the growing number of film industry celebrities entering the political arena in Tamil Nadu.

During his announcement, Vijay emphasized his commitment to bringing about “fundamental political change” through an administration characterized by transparency, lack of caste bias, and freedom from corruption. The decision to enter politics came after receiving approval from his fan club, Vijay Makkal Iyakkam, in a recent meeting held in Chennai.

In a statement, Vijay outlined his dedication to politics, describing it not just as a career but as a sacred duty to the people. He stressed that politics was a serious pursuit, not a mere hobby, and expressed his strong desire to be fully immersed in it. The statement delved into the current state of politics, addressing issues like a corrupt political culture, divisions based on caste and religion, and inefficient administrative practices.

To address these challenges, Vijay aspires to initiate a fundamental political shift leading to an administration that is efficient, transparent, caste-free, visionary, and free from corruption. Once approved by the Election Commission, the party plans to conduct public forums to showcase its policies, principles, and unveil its flag and emblem. Notably, Vijay clarified that the party would not align with any other political entity in future elections and would not participate in the 2024 general elections.

In a subsequent statement, Vijay explained the party’s decision to refrain from the 2024 elections, emphasizing the primary focus on the 2026 Assembly elections. Post EC clearance, decisions about the party’s emblem, flag, beliefs, and policies would be made. Vijay underscored his unwavering commitment to political life, emphasizing that it goes beyond mere interest. Renowned for his roles in films like “Theri” and “Master,” Vijay assured that he would fulfill his film commitments without disrupting political activities, prioritizing public service.

While Vijay Makkal Iyakkam has been actively involved in various public welfare activities, Vijay highlighted the necessity of political influence for significant change, noting that a non-profit organization alone wouldn’t be sufficient. The statement acknowledged the dual challenges of corrupt governance and divisive politics and expressed hope for a joint development and unity.

The statement concluded by acknowledging the widespread desire for good governance, particularly in Tamil Nadu, with a call for leadership that is transparent, unselfish, forward-thinking, and free from caste and religious discrimination. Vijay emphasized that this political approach would be rooted in the Indian Constitution, tailored to align with the rights of Tamil Nadu State, and grounded in the fundamental principle of equality.

Expressing gratitude to the Tamil people for everything they have provided him, including fame and fortune, Vijay declared Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam as the party he would lead. The leaders of the party have already taken steps to register it with the Indian Election Commission. The statement concluded by noting that Vijay’s entry into Tamil Nadu politics follows the footsteps of other cinematic icons like Kamal Haasan, MG Ramachandran, and Sivaji Ganesan.
