Trichy: TVK Chief and actor Vijay said that his goal is free poverty, no family domination, corruption Free in Tamil Nadu State. He started his maiden statewide tour from Tiruchirappalli on Saturday. He said that his was not just a single voice, but the voice of all Tamils.

In his speech Vijay said that the kings once prayed at temples before going to war, he had come to meet the people before preparing for the democratic battle of 2026. He criticized that both the BJP at the Centre and the DMK in Tamil Nadu of cheating the people in different ways and failing to deliver on their promises.

He reminded supporters that he had promised to visit them and declared that his was not just a single voice but the voice of all Tamils. We will not spare the BJP that torments people nor the DMK that cheats them.

He criticized that BJP’s slogan One Nation, One Election, calling it a scheme for electoral manipulation. He also warned of a grand conspiracy of delimitation that would reduce south India’s political strength.

The Centre is denying funds for Tamil Nadu’s students, attempting to impose Hindi and Sanskrit against Tamil’s two-language policy, and pressuring archaeologists to dilute the Keezhadi excavation findings, he alleged. He alleged that the BJP Government had failed to release disaster relief funds properly, turned a blind eye to attacks on Tamil fishermen by the Sri Lankan navy, and ignored the distress caused by the NEET medical exam controversy.

He alleged that DMK failed to fulfill 505 poll promises and it betrayed its own people. He questioned about the DMK’s popular schemes which promised to the people i.e., Rs 1,000 to every woman not implemented, you humiliate those who get it by boasting. You give free bus rides, then mock women as if they travel only for free.

Vijay questioned DMK that its long pending promises like Rs 100 LPG subsidy, scrapping of NEET, waiver of student loans, jobs for 10 lakh graduates annually, restoration of the old pension scheme, 40% job quota for women, filling 3 lakh vacancies, benefits for fishermen, weavers, auto drivers, teachers, ration supply improvements, and higher old-age pensions.

Vijay also brought the issues of local Trichy unresolved Cauvery water disputes, drinking water shortages in Manapparai and Vaiyampatti, polluted groundwater due to industrial effluents and illegal sand mining allegedly controlled by people linked to the DMK.

TVK would not give false assurances but only what was practically possible, he promised. Basic needs like education, ration, healthcare, electricity, roads, and drinking water would be delivered without compromise, along with absolute focus on women’s safety and law and order, he added.

Our goal is a Tamil Nadu without poverty, without family domination, without corruption a real democracy with conscience, he declared. Victory is certain Nallathe nadakkum.
