Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam Aims to Make History by Securing Power in the 2026 Assembly Elections: Vijay
“We are emerging as a pivotal political force in Tamil Nadu, determined to shape history in the upcoming 2026 elections, just as in 1967 and 1977,” Vijay stated during the first anniversary of his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), founded with the goal of displacing the DMK from power.
The event took place at Poonjeri, near Mamallapuram along the East Coast Road.
Recalling the legacy of Dravidian leader ‘Anna’ (CN Annadurai), who led the DMK to victory over Congress in 1967, and AIADMK icon MGR (MG Ramachandran), who ousted the DMK in 1977, he emphasized that the youthful and ordinary citizens who supported them paved the way for change. He responded to criticisms aimed at TVK, asserting that empowering ordinary people is essential. “Our party prioritizes the common citizens, not landlords. In the past, landlords held power; now, those in power have become landlords. Our goal is to remove them from politics,” he clarified.
Vijay firmly opposed the three-language policy, accusing the DMK and BJP of colluding in a political charade that misleads the public. “The social media antics of both parties resemble childish disputes. It’s a clash between DMK’s cultural offerings and BJP’s authoritarianism,” the TVK leader remarked, insisting that the Union Government has a responsibility to finance education as a fundamental right.
“Our land is one of self-respect where all languages are valued. Individuals should be free to learn any language in any school. However, imposing a language that undermines a state’s educational framework for political gain is unacceptable,” he argued.
Vijay referred to political strategist and Jan Suraj Party president Prashant Kishor as his ally and pledged partnership while staying true to TVK’s principles. Kishor, a special guest at the event, expressed, “I see in Vijay not just a leader, but a beacon of hope for Tamil Nadu. TVK represents a new political framework focused on dignity, equality, and opportunity for all. With PK on board, TVK stands a strong chance in the elections.”
Kishor also highlighted that political corruption in Tamil Nadu is at an all-time high, fueled by dynastic politics. He made a cricket analogy, stating, “If only the children of famous cricketers like Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev could play, we would have missed out on great talents like Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, and Virat Kohli.” He humorously added that helping TVK win in 2026 could make him more popular than Dhoni.
Emphasizing TVK’s commitment to the Tamil language, Vijay honored the martyrs of the anti-Hindi agitations of the 1930s and 1960s with floral tributes to their portraits and initiated a signature campaign against the three-language policy under the slogan “GetOut.”
