Chennai, Feb 16 Tamil superstar-turned-politician Vijay's party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) is set to hold its first general council meeting in Mahabalipuram on February 26.
The meeting marks a significant milestone in the party's journey since its formation on February 2, 2024.
Vijay's entry into politics has reshaped the political landscape of Tamil Nadu.
When Vijay announced the formation of TVK, he said his party would stand against corruption and divisiveness.
He also declared that TVK would contest the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections but chose to stay away from the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, refraining from supporting any party.
On August 22, 2024, Vijay unveiled TVK's party flag and official flag song at its headquarters in Panaiyur, Chennai. Later, on October 27, 2024, TVK held its inaugural conference in Vikravandi, Villupuram district, one of Tamil Nadu's biggest political events.
According to Tamil Nadu police, approximately 3 lakh people attended the Vikravandi conference, causing major traffic congestion along the Chennai-Tiruchi National Highway, particularly in Vikravandi and Mundiyampakkam.
Vijay made his political stance clear, branding the BJP as his ideological adversary and the DMK as his political adversary. He accused the DMK of being a family-dominated party that exploits the "Dravidian identity" for personal gain while condemning the BJP for "promoting divisive politics".
