Kickstarting Statewide Tour from Trichy, Vijay Attacks DMK, Promises Change
Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief and actor Vijay launched his much-anticipated statewide political tour in Tiruchirappalli on Saturday, kickstarting what is being seen as his first major step toward the 2026 Assembly elections. Calling Trichy - where Annadurai chose to contest in 1956 and MGR held his first major conference in 1974 - a "turning point in Tamil Nadu's political history", Vijay said he was starting his journey from a land symbolising "Periyar, secularism and communal amity."
