Vijay Taps Into Tamil Sentiment: Will TVK Strike A Chord?
At Nagapattinam, Vijay shifted gear from stardom to open defiance. He accused Chief Minister M.K. Stalin of reducing governance to a family-run project, while fishermen - the pride of Tamil Nadu's coast and identity - continue to face poverty and repeated attacks from the Sri Lankan Navy. In a district that sends fish across the world, he said the government has failed to protect its own people. He railed against being silenced with power cuts and 3-minute speaking windows, asking the CM directly: "Are you threatening me? This Vijay is not afraid." By declaring 2026 a "DMK vs TVK" battle, he invoked a sentiment many Tamils carry - that their politics should not be hostage to one dynasty or one family's power.
