Tamil Nadu, Jan 29 : Actor turned politician Vijay is set to formally launch Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam’s campaign for the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections in February with a grand conference and a series of public meetings across the state.
Party sources said the plan includes one large conference and three major public gatherings in different regions, all of which will be addressed by Vijay. If logistical or strategic hurdles prevent the conference from going ahead, the party has an alternative blueprint to organise five large scale public meetings spanning five regions of Tamil Nadu.
Campaign strategy discussions
The roadmap was finalised during detailed discussions led by TVK chief coordinator KA Sengottaiyan with the party’s election campaign committee, sources said.
District-level functionaries reportedly raised concerns about difficulties in obtaining permissions for meetings and distributing campaign material. Sengottaiyan advised them to approach senior district officials and escalate the matter to state level leaders, who would take it up as a political issue, according to sources familiar with the deliberations.
Party anniversary event
TVK has also decided to mark its second anniversary at the party’s Panaiyur office, where Vijay is expected to participate and address party workers.
Veiled swipe at AIADMK
Speaking to reporters after a meeting of Chennai district functionaries, TVK deputy general secretary CT Nirmal Kumar took a veiled swipe at the AIADMK, claiming that the political contest in the state was primarily between the DMK and TVK.
“The party that is expected to oppose the DMK is instead targeting us. We are not concerned about those who are not in the race,” he said.
