Vijay launches campaign for Tamil Nadu by-elections

Tamil Nadu by-elections C. Joseph Vijay Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam AIADMK Madurantakam

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay and his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), have launched active campaigning for the Madurantakam and Dharapuram Assembly by-elections scheduled for October 6. The by-elections follow the resignation of AIADMK MLAs Maragatham Kumaravel and P. Sathyabama, who subsequently joined the ruling TVK. TVK has re-nominated both individuals to contest from their former constituencies.

During a campaign event in Madurantakam, Vijay criticized the DMK, describing it as an “evil force” and alleging a connection between the DMK and the BJP. In response, DMK President M. K. Stalin urged Vijay to perform introspection regarding his political remarks and questioned the ethics of TVK recruiting defected MLAs.

Opposition AIADMK leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami has characterized the defections as “horse-trading” and urged voters to punish those who betrayed the party. Meanwhile, Left parties, including the CPM and CPI, are contesting the by-elections independently, marking a significant ideological test for the parties. To manage crowds at campaign rallies, TVK has implemented a restricted entry system using QR-code passes for up to 5,000 attendees.
