Sun Oct 27 16:09:13 UTC 2024: ## Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam Holds First State-Level Conference
**Villupuram, Tamil Nadu:** Tamil cinema superstar Vijay, founder of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), held his party’s first state-level conference in Vikravandi, Villupuram district on Sunday. The conference was a significant milestone for the TVK, which was officially registered as a political party by the Election Commission of India in September.
Vijay, known for his charismatic screen presence and massive fan following, addressed the gathering, declaring his party would fight against “sectarian forces” ideologically and “corrupt forces” operating under the guise of the “Dravidian model” politically. He also stated TVK is open to forming alliances and sharing power with parties in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.
His speech resonated with a theme of social justice and secularism, drawing parallels to the legacy of prominent figures like Periyar E.V. Ramasamy, K. Kamaraj, and Anjalai Ammal. He emphasized the role of women in his political journey, referencing the tragic suicide of Ariyalur student Anitha who died over the NEET issue.
The conference saw a large turnout, with elaborate arrangements and massive security measures in place. While the TVK’s ideology and its potential impact on the existing political landscape remain to be seen, the star’s entry into politics has generated considerable buzz, with the party’s first state-level conference serving as a crucial platform to showcase its vision and policies.
The conference also featured a performance of the party’s ideology song, which highlighted the party’s commitment to social justice, secularism, and inclusivity.
