Actor-turned-politician Vijay on Wednesday chaired a General Council meeting of his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), in Mamallapuram \u2014 the first key huddle since the tragic stampede in Karur on September 27 that claimed 41 lives.<\/p>\n

During the meeting, Vijay launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister M K Stalin and the DMK government, accusing them of attempting to blame him and his party for the Karur tragedy. He asserted that the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections would be a direct contest between the TVK and the DMK, adding that \u201cthis fight is going to get intense in the coming months.”<\/p>\n

Obstacles we are facing are temporary, will shatter all of them, he said.<\/p>\n

Vijay began his speech by expressing grief over the Karur incident. \u201cWe have been in inexpressible pain because of the loss of our family members in the Karur stampede. There has been so much misinformation and defamation against us. We will win everything with truth and law,” he said.<\/p>\n

The TVK chief also criticised the DMK government for allegedly imposing unfair restrictions on his party\u2019s rallies. \u201cWe had to wait for several days to get permission for our rallies. The conditions imposed on us were unlike those faced by any other party. I have a few questions for our narrow-minded CM. Did the Chief Minister forget the observations made by the top court?” he asked.<\/p>\n

Accusing the ruling party of losing touch with the public, Vijay added, \u201cThe people have lost faith in the DMK government. Does the CM know the sentiments of the people of this state? If he doesn\u2019t, he will know in the 2026 polls. The CM can also keep his speech ready to accept the people\u2019s mandate.”<\/p>\n

During the meeting, the general council of TVK authorised Vijay to take a call on the party\u2019s alliance for next year\u2019s Assembly polls and announced him as its Chief Ministerial candidate.<\/p>\n

A total of 12 resolutions on issues including the recurring arrests of Indian fishermen from Tamil Nadu by the Sri Lankan navy, women\u2019s safety in the state\u2013the latest sexual assault of a woman in Coimbatore was highlighted, and the SIR of electoral rolls was adopted.<\/p>\n

The resolution authorising the party founder to decide on alliance for the Assembly polls was unanimously adopted at the general council, the party\u2019s decision-making body.<\/p>\n

Vijay is \u201cthe CM candidate loved by all sections of people. Under his leadership, will face the 2026 polls and authorise him to take all decisions regarding electoral alliance,” the resolution said.<\/p>\n
