TVK chief Vijay rules out alliances, says ‘no compromise on secular social justice principles’ The Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party chief, Vijay, has dismissed rumors about his party joining the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) for the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. Speaking at an iftar event organized by the party in Mamallapuram, 60 kilometers south of Chennai, Vijay emphasized that his party remains committed to its principles of secular social justice and will not align with any alliance. Vijay addressed persistent rumors that his party was associated with other political groups, stating that such claims were baseless. He clarified, “Rumours were being spread that we were part of this team and that team. There is no such team. We belong only to the people’s team.” He further noted that attempts to discredit the party through false narratives had failed, and the recent claims of an alliance were part of a deliberate campaign to undermine their credibility. The leader reiterated his party’s stance on maintaining secular values and social justice, asserting that there is “no room for compromise in our politics.” Vijay also expressed confidence in the party’s ability to lead the state government if voted into power, stating, “With the blessing of God, we will achieve our target.” This declaration comes amid ongoing discussions about the political landscape in Tamil Nadu, where TVK is positioning itself as a key player. The party’s focus on secularism and social justice has been a central theme in its campaign, distinguishing it from other regional parties. Vijay’s remarks underscore his determination to uphold these principles despite external pressures and misinformation.#vijay #tamil_nadu #national_democratic_alliance #tvk #mamallapuram
Actor Vijay Rejects BJP's 90 Seats Offer for Tamil Nadu Election Aadhav Arjuna, leader of the Tamil Nadu-based TVK party, claimed that Vijay, the actor-turned-politician, was offered a significant share of seats and the Deputy Chief Minister post by an unidentified political party ahead of the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. However, Vijay has publicly stated his refusal to align with any party, emphasizing his commitment to contesting the election independently. Arjuna did not specify which party made the offer, though his remarks about Vijay "not succumbing to Delhi for the Chief Minister's post" have been interpreted by some as a reference to the BJP. The TVK General Secretary confirmed that the party sought a seat-sharing agreement with Vijay but noted that the actor rejected the proposal. "Vijay is not the kind of person who will succumb to Delhi for the sake of the Chief Minister's post," Arjuna said at a party meeting in Kolathur. "They gave us all kinds of offers—ranging from 50 to 90 seats—but Vijay insisted on the trust of the people, not the post." Sources within the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) confirmed that talks between Vijay and the party were ongoing. According to these sources, the BJP had proposed Vijay the Deputy Chief Minister position along with 55 seats. However, not all within the NDA supported the offer, with some members expressing reservations about the terms. The BJP’s goal is to counter the DMK, which is allied with the Congress, and prevent it from securing a fourth consecutive victory in the state. The AIADMK, the other major Dravidian party in Tamil Nadu, has openly opposed any alliance with Vijay. Edappadi K. Palaniswami, the AIADMK leader, denied involvement in talks with TVK, citing concerns about losing influence to Vijay.#bjp #vijay #aiadmk #dmk #tvk
