Mon Oct 28 13:25:04 UTC 2024: ## Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam Aims for Power in 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections
**VIKRAVANDI, TAMIL NADU:** Actor and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) president Vijay, launched his party’s political campaign on Sunday with a fiery speech at the first State-level conference in Vikravandi.
Vijay positioned himself as a champion against “sectarian and corrupt forces,” while advocating for secular social justice principles and a caste census. He declared that TVK will fight “ideologically” against sectarian forces and “politically” against those invoking the ‘Dravidian model’ for corrupt means.
Vijay specifically criticized parties who he believes engage in “underground dealings” with forces they claim to oppose, highlighting the “fear” they create around majority-minority divides. He also addressed his party’s readiness to share power with parties who approach TVK before the 2026 Assembly elections.
Expressing confidence in TVK’s victory, Vijay urged voters to see each vote for his party as a “bomb” against corruption. He highlighted the party’s commitment to proportional representation in education and jobs, a key focus for his campaign.
With this declaration, Vijay has officially entered the political arena, setting his sights on the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. His party, TVK, is aiming for a clear majority, but remains open to forming alliances.
