Vijay's political party named 'Tamilaka Vetri Kazhagam'

It is no secret now that actor Vijay is all set to foray into politics soon. Now, the latest is that that much awaited name of his political party has been revealed to be 'Tamilaka Vetri Kazhagam' (TVK), which means Tamil Nadu Victory Association.

In an official statement revealing the party name, Vijay said, "My humble regards to all dear people of Tamil Nadu. As you all know that 'Vijay Makkal Iyyakam' has been doing various welfare schemes, social services and relief assistance to the best of its ability for many years. However, it is impossible for a voluntary organization alone to bring about complete social, economic and political reforms. It requires political power"


"You are all aware of the current political climate. Administrative malpractices and "corrupt political culture" on the one hand, and "divisive political culture" which strives to divide our people on the lines of caste and religion, on the other hand, are full of obstacles to our unity and progress. It is a fact that everyone especially in Tamil Nadu is yearning for a fundamental political change that can lead to a selfless, transparent, caste-free, visionary, corruption-free efficient administration. Most importantly, such a politics should be subject to our Indian constitution, based on the state rights of Tamil Nadu, and should be based on the egalitarian principle of "To all living things that give birth" (All are equal by birth) for this land. Such a fundamental political change can only be made possible by a people's power that has the unanimous admiration and love of the people," he added.

"In this case, it is my long-term intention and desire to help the people of Tamil Nadu and the Tamil community, who gave me name, fame and everything after my parents, as much as I can.

"Get into something after putting thought into it" is the Valluvan saying. Accordingly, a political party led by us has been started under the name "Tamilaka Vetri Kazhagam" and an application has been made today on behalf of our party to register with the Chief Election Commission of India," said Vijay.

"Earlier on 25.01.2024 in the State General Committee and Executive Committee meeting held in Chennai, the President and Chief Secretariat Executives of the party were elected and the party's constitution and bylaws were duly approved and accepted by all the General Committee members," he added.

A confident Vijay said, "Our goal is to contest and win the upcoming 2026 assembly elections and lead to the fundamental political change that people want. After receiving the approval of the Election Commission, our political journey for the people of Tamil Nadu will begin with public meeting events, presenting our party's policies, principles, flag, symbol and programs for the success of Tamil Nadu-related policies and the upliftment of the people of Tamil Nadu."

"In the interim period, the tasks of politicizing the volunteers of our party and bringing them to a ready position in an organizational manner, democratically electing responsible people under the rules of the party and strengthening the infrastructure will be actively implemented," added Vijay.

"Application for registration of our party has been made keeping in mind the time required for the approval of the Election Commission and the party expansion work. I humbly state here that we are not contesting in the coming 2024 parliamentary elections and we do not have our support for any party and it has been decided in the general body and executive committee," concluded Vijay.
