PM Should Handle TN Carefully: Vijay Ahead of Assembly Elections
As the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections draw near, the political landscape of the state is witnessing a flurry of activity. The latest development is a strong warning issued by Thalapathy Vijay, the chief of the Thalapathy Vijay Kommuneidam (TVK) party, to the Central Government and the ruling DMK party. Vijay, a prominent actor and politician, has expressed his concerns over several issues, including the delimitation row and the three-language policy dispute, and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to handle Tamil Nadu with care.
In an interview with NDTV, Vijay stated, “Sir (PM Narendra Modi) handle Tamil Nadu carefully…[the state] is against divisive forces.” He also accused the BJP of “secretly owning” the DMK government, which has been ruling the state since 2021.
The TVK party chief’s warning comes at a time when the state is already witnessing a high level of political polarization. The ruling DMK party, led by Chief Minister MK Stalin, has been facing criticism from the opposition AIADMK party and other parties over various issues, including the delimitation row and the three-language policy dispute.
The delimitation row refers to the dispute over the redrawing of electoral boundaries in the state. The DMK government had decided to constitute a Delimitation Commission to redraw the electoral boundaries, but the move was criticized by the opposition parties, including the AIADMK. Vijay, in his interview, criticized the DMK government for trying to “divide” the state by redrawing the electoral boundaries.
The three-language policy dispute is another contentious issue that has been raging in the state. The DMK government had decided to implement a three-language policy, which would make Tamil, English, and Hindi compulsory in schools. The move was criticized by the opposition parties, including the AIADMK, which argued that it would lead to the dilution of the state’s unique identity.
Vijay’s warning to the Prime Minister comes at a time when the state is already witnessing a high level of political polarization. The ruling DMK party has been facing criticism from the opposition AIADMK party and other parties over various issues, including the delimitation row and the three-language policy dispute. The state is also witnessing a surge in popularity of the BJP, which has been trying to make inroads in the state.
The BJP, which has been trying to make inroads in the state, has been accused of trying to “divide” the state by raising divisive issues. Vijay’s warning to the Prime Minister comes at a time when the state is already witnessing a high level of political polarization.
In his interview, Vijay also accused the BJP of “secretly owning” the DMK government. This is not the first time that Vijay has made such a claim. In the past, he has accused the BJP of trying to “control” the DMK government and said that the party was working to “divide” the state.
The TVK party chief’s warning to the Prime Minister comes at a time when the state is already witnessing a high level of political polarization.
