Vijay files nomination in Tiruchy East amid fan frenzy; raises law and order concerns

Actor-politician Vijay files nomination from Tiruchy East, helps injured fan, and criticizes state and central governments over LPG shortage and law and order.

"defeat the evil forces - Vijay"

Tiruchy, April 2

Actor-turned-politician Vijay, leader of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, filed his nomination from the Tiruchy East constituency on Thursday, drawing massive crowds of supporters and triggering brief moments of chaos.

As Vijay's convoy made its way through the city, hundreds of enthusiastic fans followed his vehicle, despite police attempts to regulate the crowd. In the commotion, a woman who was running alongside the convoy reportedly lost balance and fell, causing concern among onlookers.

Noticing the incident, Vijay immediately stopped his vehicle, stepped out, and personally checked on the injured woman before resuming his journey.

The gesture briefly halted traffic and created a tense yet emotionally charged atmosphere at the scene.

Later, Vijay formally submitted his nomination papers to the Returning Officer, Muthu Murugesa Pandian, at the Tiruchy East constituency office.

The TVK leader is contesting from two constituencies in this election, having already filed his nomination earlier from Perambalur. Following the filing of his papers, Vijay visited the statue of M.G. Ramachandran (MGR) and paid floral tributes, invoking the legacy of the iconic leader.

He then interacted with the public and raised several issues concerning governance and public welfare.

Highlighting the reported shortage of LPG cylinders in certain areas, Vijay questioned whether all households were receiving adequate supply.

He criticised both the Centre and state governments for what he described as a lack of proactive measures.

Taking a dig at Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, Vijay asked why the latter had not travelled to Delhi to address the cylinder shortage, even as he had done so for other matters.

The TVK leader also expressed concern over law-and-order issues, referring to the tragic killing of a schoolgirl in Vilathikulam. He said people were living in fear, unsure of their safety, and called for a political change in the state.

Vijay urged voters to "defeat the evil forces" in power, intensifying his attack on the ruling DMK government.

With his dual-constituency contest and high-voltage campaign, Vijay has added a new dimension to the electoral battle in Tamil Nadu.

The LPG cylinder shortage is a real problem affecting middle-class households across TN. Glad he's raising it. Politicians need to focus on these basic issues instead of just symbolism. Hope he has concrete plans and isn't just criticizing.

The fan frenzy is unreal! 🤯 It's like a movie scene come to life. But contesting from two constituencies? Feels a bit opportunistic. Why not focus on one area and serve it properly? Let's see if he can translate this popularity into real governance.

Paying tribute to MGR's statue is a smart political move, connecting with the legacy of the beloved leader. The emotional connect in Tamil Nadu politics is deep. His entry definitely makes the electoral battle more interesting and competitive.

The incident with the schoolgirl in Vilathikulam is heartbreaking. If law and order is truly breaking down, it's a failure of the state machinery. Every citizen deserves to feel safe. Hope all parties present a clear plan to address this, not just use it for rhetoric.

While his concern seems genuine, stopping the convoy in the middle of the road caused more chaos. Couldn't a team member have helped? Sometimes these gestures, though well-intentioned, create bigger problems. The focus should be on smooth, safe public engagement.
