Rahul Gandhi's Post For Vijay's Jana Nayagan Sparks Congress Strategy Buzz

Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's strong support for actor Vijay over the controversy surrounding his film Jana Nayagan has added a new twist to politics in Tamil Nadu. His post has not only backed Vijay at a sensitive time, but has also strengthened speculation that the Congress may be open to exploring a political understanding with Vijay's party, TVK, even as it remains closely linked with the DMK.

Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, said that the attempt to delay Jana Nayagan through the Central Board of Film Certification was an attack on Tamil culture. He also said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would not be able to silence the voice of the Tamil people. This fits into his larger political argument that key national institutions are under pressure from the BJP and RSS. The timing of the tweet was also important. It came on a day when he was in Gudalur in Niligiris for Pongal celebrations, marking his first public programme after returning from Vietnam. The message carried both political weight and cultural symbolism.
