Perambur: TVK chief Vijay on Monday said that Stalin sir is the reason and responsible for this plight? We have to save Tamil Nadu. After filing his nomination, in his address from his open-top campaign vehicle, he said that I will never lie, never deceive you, he declared. He reiterated the charge that the ruling DMK was an evil force.

Vijay also told the crowd that he had quit his life of comfort and joined politics to repay his debt of gratitude to them. I have endured all the pain and came (joined politics) only for you. I will never lie, never deceive you, he declared.

Do you want Stalin sir, who runs an anti-people Government? Or do you want Vijay, who loves people? Please give an opportunity and vote for the whistle symbol. This should be a whistle revolution election, he said.

Is this a country or a jungle? Does a Government exist? Does it function? He wondered. Vijay asked people in Perambur whether they knew how people were living without basic amenities.
