TVK Maanadu: Vijay Speech Highlights And TVK Party Goals

The much-awaited Vijay's political TVK Maanadu took place on October 27 in Vikravandi, drawing a massive crowd for the first political convention of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). The event has quickly become a trending topic on social media.

Vijay's speech marked a significant moment in his political career as lakhs of supporters gathered at the venue in Villupuram district.

He gave a strong political speech about the party’s goals. He started with his usual sarcastic tone and then made clear political critiques that the crowd appreciated. While he didn’t name specific parties, the audience understood what he meant.

Traffic Congestion:

Due to the TVK Maanadu event, yesterday heavy traffic congestion occurred in the area as lakhs of followers flocked to the venue. Authorities diverted vehicles from the southern districts at Madapat near Ulundurpet, recommending alternative routes through Thirukovilur, Senchi, and Tindivanam.

Light vehicles were allowed to pass through Vikravandi, and extensive security measures, including iron barricades, were put in place to ensure safety.

Vijay Speech Highlights: 

Vijay officially inaugurated the conference by raising the party flag on a towering 101-foot pole. He then talked about TVK's ideology, highlighted values such as equality, social justice, and secularism, and advocated for Tamil to be recognized as the administrative language in courts.

Vijay also inspired by key historical figures stated he aligns with the visions of Periyar, Kamaraj, Velu Nachiyar, and Anjalai Ammal, particularly stressing the importance of women’s empowerment inspired by Periyar’s ideals, not the aesthetic views.

He addressed criticisms of his entertainment background, embracing the label of "Koothuthadi" (drama artist). By embracing this label, he acknowledged not only his roots but also the significant role that the entertainment industry plays in shedding light on pressing societal issues. Vijay also said how he left his acting career at its peak and entered politics to serve people by believing in them. 

Also, party officials presented Vijay with copies of the Bhagavad Gita, the Bible, the Quran, and the Constitution, reinforcing TVK’s secular foundations.
