'No compromise on state's rights': CM Vijay's tough message in first rally after TVK victory, pans DMK & AIADMK

NEW DELHI: TVK chief and Tamil Nadu chief minister C Joseph Vijay on Monday said that the political battle in the state was now “only between TVK and DMK”. Addressing his first rally after TVK’s massive poll win in Tamil Nadu, Vijay accused the former ruling party of promoting “family politics”. The actor-turned-politician further said that the TVK regime will be for all people and that there will be no compromise on state’s rights, secularism.He also dismissed allegations of horse-trading levelled against his party, instead accusing the DMK and AIADMK of “attempting to form government”.“Even now, I say this politically: the contest is only between two parties, one is the DMK and the other is the TVK. There is no role or space for anyone else in between,” Vijay said.“Only a few weeks have passed since I assumed office, yet those who claimed they would remain silent for six months could not remain silent even for six days. By rejecting the two people who had been taking turns deceiving you for so many years, you chose your Vijay, your elder brother, your younger brother, who came to genuinely work for you, and made him not the Chief Minister, but your first servant,” he added.Vijay also questioned why his choice of attire should become a political issue, asking, “Why should I not wear suit?” The comments drew loud cheers from party workers and supporters gathered at the venue.The rally marked Vijay’s first major public address after winning from Tiruchirappalli East and later resigning the seat to retain Perambur in Chennai. His appearance drew large crowds, with supporters lining the route from the airport to the meeting venue and showering flowers on his vehicle.
