Churn In Tamil Nadu Politics: New Affinities Over Language Row?
The new player disrupting Tamil Nadu's political landscape, actor Vijay had an important meeting of his party workers today, and he has asked for the TVK flag in every house in Tamil Nadu. Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) held its first general body meeting, adopting a 17-point resolution. The party has announced its opposition to the Wakf Amendment Bill, delimitation exercise, three-language policy, among others. It has also pushed for a caste survey in Tamil Nadu like Telangana.
Will an actor trump DMK? Vijay has showcased scale, ambition and a desire, but does he have strategy and arithmetic on his side? The last actor to succeed in Tamil Politics was Vijaykanth but he couldn't become CM. Will actor Vijay break the jinx?
There have been other very important developments too. AIADMK leaders led by former CM Edappady Palanisamy met home minister Amit Shah recently, talks of alliance between the two parties have already begun. AIADMK wants more say, wants more seats.
