Vijay has been appointed as the party president of Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam, his political party.
Actor Vijay has put an end to the ongoing speculations about his entry into politics by confirming the news on Friday. With a massive fan base in Tamil Nadu and being one of the highest-paid actors in India, Vijay has taken a significant step by announcing the formation of his own political party.
The party, named Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam, was unveiled through a social media post along with a detailed two-page statement. In this statement, Vijay outlined his vision for the party and its objectives. It was also mentioned that the party would be participating in the upcoming 2026 Assembly elections, with Vijay assuming the role of party president.
However, the statement did not disclose whether Vijay himself would be contesting in the elections. This leaves the question of his personal political ambitions unanswered for now.
Vijay’s party is known as Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam.
The party’s official statement emphasized that the Vijay Makkal Iyakkam has been actively engaged in various social welfare initiatives for numerous years. Nevertheless, it acknowledged that solely relying on a fan club is insufficient to bring about the desired societal transformation. It stressed the necessity of a political presence to address the prevailing issues. The statement further highlighted the current political landscape, characterized by rampant corruption and malpractices in administration, as well as divisive politics rooted in caste and religion, which hinder the overall progress of the people.
To foster harmony and address these issues, Vijay has declared the formation of his own political party. The declaration further emphasizes that the party’s politics must adhere to our Constitution and champion the principle of equality, ensuring that everyone is treated fairly. The party will strive to uphold these principles through the collective strength of the people. The support of a substantial number of individuals is crucial in this endeavor.
Vijay’s voyage in the world of cinema.
The actor’s most recent appearance was in Leo, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. His upcoming project is GOAT-Greatest of All Time, helmed by Venkat Prabhu. The film’s posters have been released, hinting at the actor’s portrayal of two characters, one young and one old. As the actor ventures into politics, it remains to be seen whether Vijay will persist in his acting career or fully commit to a political life.
