He, however, said the DMK-led government in Tamil Nadu should learn from Puducherry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cFor the Union government, Tamil Nadu is a separate state, and Puducherry is a separate UT. But for us, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry are alike. I thank the Puducherry government for providing full security for this rally. The Tamil Nadu Government should learn from Puducherry,&#8221; Vijay said while addressing a 5,000-strong crowd at Uppalam grounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">He claimed that the central government is not taking care of Puducherry, as it has not fulfilled its statehood demand. He termed the regime led by Chief Minister N Rangasamy as \u201cimpartial&#8221; while attacking the DMK dispensation in Tamil Nadu for being \u201ccheats&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The actor-politician once again addressed the rally from his custom-made campaign vehicle, listing out the differences between the Puducherry government led by Rangasamy and the MK Stalin regime in Tamil Nadu. After the Karur stampede, he had recently addressed an indoor meeting at Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cIt will be good if TN\u2019s DMK regime learns from the impartial Puducherry government. They will, however, not learn now,&#8221; he said. \u201cThe DMK regime will 100 percent learn their lesson from the 2026 assembly election; our people will ensure it.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">He thanked the territorial government and the chief minister. Despite the BJP sharing power in the AINRC-led government, he said the party in power at the Centre has neglected the UT.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cPeople know well, the Union government has not paid any attention towards Puducherry,&#8221; he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Underscoring the longtime statehood demand of Puducherry, Vijay said this year, on March 27, the assembly had adopted a resolution for the 16th time seeking the status of a full-fledged state. However, the Centre failed to pay heed to the demand and has not supported Puducherry to develop, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cNothing was done to create job opportunities for thousands of young people, there is not even a thought of setting up an IT company here,&#8221; he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Flagging \u201cnot developing&#8221; regions including Karaikkal and Mahe and \u201clack of amenities&#8221; including parking and toilets in Puducherry and the demand for the Puducherry-Cuddalore train link, he urged that such issues be addressed. The Centre, which sidelines Tamil Nadu, must not ignore Puducherry, he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cI have only one thing to tell the people of Puducherry; do not trust the DMK; their job is to gain your trust and deceive you,&#8221; he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"12\" class=\"story_para_12\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Vijay further expressed confidence of victory in the 2026 assembly polls in Puducherry. Invoking AIADMK founder, the legendary MGR\u2019S (MG Ramachandran) legacy, he praised the people for supporting him during the past 30 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"13\" class=\"story_para_13\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cDo not think that I will voice support only for Tamil Nadu, my voice will be in support of Puducherry as well,&#8221; he said. \u201cIt was the Puducherry people who told us that Tamil Nadu must not miss MGR, how can we forget Puducherry.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"14\" class=\"story_para_14\"><em><strong>(With PTI inputs)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3 midgprfd\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3 midgprfdbtn\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/dlxczavtqcctuei\/news18\/static\/images\/english\/google-color.svg\" width=\"36\" height=\"36\" alt=\"\" class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3\"\/><span class=\"jsx-ff4fe2ed9527ebb3\">Click here to add News18 as your preferred news source on Google. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-3954308791 atbtlink Location\"><span>Location :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Puducherry (Pondicherry), India, India<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-3954308791 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>December 09, 2025, 21:01 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-3954308791 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/politics\/\">politics<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> &#8216;Thank Puducherry For Security, TN Govt Should Learn&#8217;: Vijay In First Rally Since Karur Stampede<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
