Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and leader of the Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) party, C. Joseph Vijay, addressed supporters in Madurantakam on Thursday during a campaign event for his party's candidate, Maragatham Kumaravel. The rally was held in anticipation of the upcoming assembly by-elections scheduled for October 6. During his address, Vijay dismissed criticism directed at his political maneuvers, stating that his 'thick skin' protects him from the rhetoric of his opponents.
Vijay specifically targeted the opposition Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), accusing the party of attempting to distract the public from current political questions by resorting to personal attacks. He argued that the DMK relies on a 'Mr. Clean' image that ignores historical corruption cases, which he claims the younger generation is unaware of. According to the report, Vijay emphasized that the electoral contest is primarily a direct face-off between his party, the TVK, and the DMK.
When questioned about his frequent criticism of DMK leader M.K. Stalin, Vijay maintained a personal tone, referring to the leader as his 'uncle' while continuing to challenge the party's governance. The event highlights the intensifying political climate in Tamil Nadu as new political entrants like Vijay seek to challenge the established dominance of the DMK in the state's electoral landscape.
