Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) chief and actor Vijay vowed at his party's third anniversary event in Chennai to end the bipolar politics between DMK and AIADMK in Tamil Nadu. In his 17-minute address, he branded DMK as representing injustice, anarchy and mischief, while calling AIADMK a corrupt force subservient to the BJP. He claimed TVK, backed by the people, alone could defeat DMK in the 2026 assembly elections.
The Congress party skipped an event organized by its ally MDMK due to an invitation featuring a photo of the late LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran. Despite the boycott, the alliance with the ruling DMK remains intact. Chief Minister MK Stalin used the occasion to call for eradicating communal politics and drugs in Tamil Nadu.
