With Tamil Nadu's assembly elections just weeks away and political rumours swirling in every direction, actor-turned-politician Vijay used a significant public occasion on Wednesday, March 18, to deliver his most direct statement yet on TVK's political stance ruling out any alliance with the BJP-led NDA and reaffirming that his party is heading into the polls
A remark made at a political rally has snowballed into one of Tamil Nadu's most talked-about controversies of the week and on Tuesday, March 17, Tamil superstar Rajinikanth broke his silence with a measured but pointed response that sent a clear message across political lines.
Media reports citing sources suggested that the BJP had offered Vijay the post of Deputy Chief Minister in a potential NDA government if TVK joined the alliance for the upcoming Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly elections.
Speaking at the event, TVK chief Vijay said the schemes were designed to create a safer and more economically secure environment for women.
The All India Democratic Women’s Association (AIDWA) has strongly condemned social media posts targeting Sangeetha, the wife of actor-politician Vijay, describing the online attacks as “digital violence” against women.
Sangeetha has filed a formal divorce petition in the Chengalpattu Family Court, citing an alleged extramarital affair with an actress and mental cruelty as the grounds.
DMK event included systematic support for attendees, like organisers arranged designated water points and shaded resting zones, as seen in videos shared by local media and social platforms, where volunteers distributed refreshments and guided participants calmly.
The deceased, identified as Suraj, was originally from Maharashtra and had been residing in Salem for nearly 20 years.
TVK Chief Vijay had declared an income of ₹35.42 crore in his Income Tax Return (ITR) for the financial year 2015–16. However, the income received from the film Puli, amounting to ₹15 crore, was not included in the declaration.
