COIMBATORE: K A Sengottaiyan, the chief coordinator of Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) high-level steering committee, on Tuesday termed the party’s victory in the Tamil Nadu assembly election as a historic milestone in Indian politics.
He said TVK had secured a massive victory in its debut election without distributing cash to the voters. Speaking to reporters at Coimbatore International Airport, Sengottaiyan attributed the party’s success to the immense love and support shown by the people of Tamil Nadu to TVK leader Vijay. He said the foundation of any growing movement lies in sacrifice.
Sengottaiyan said divine will and people’s power would make Vijay the chief minister of Tamil Nadu. “When an individual becomes consumed by ego, the divine intervenes to show who is truly in control. Nothing is impossible through divine will, and it is by that divine grace that Vijay is set to occupy the seat of power. This has now transformed into a massive people’s movement,” he said.
Drawing a comparison with established political giants, Sengottaiyan said parties built on the sacrifices of leaders such as Anna, MGR and Jayalalithaa were faltering. “A new era has begun,” he added.
The TVK’s victory marks a significant shift in the state’s political landscape. The party, led by popular actor Vijay, contested its first election and emerged victorious, reflecting a strong wave of support among the electorate. Sengottaiyan emphasized that the party did not resort to distributing cash to voters, which is a common practice in many elections, but rather relied on the goodwill and trust of the people.
He further elaborated that the movement is now a people’s movement, driven by the collective will of the masses. The divine intervention, he noted, has paved the way for Vijay to assume the chief minister’s position. This victory, according to Sengottaiyan, is a testament to the power of sacrifice and the unwavering support of the people.
In his remarks, Sengottaiyan also criticized the traditional political parties that have long dominated Tamil Nadu politics. He said that parties built on the sacrifices of iconic leaders like Anna, MGR, and Jayalalithaa are now failing to connect with the people. The emergence of TVK signals the beginning of a new era in the state’s political history.
The election results have been closely watched across the country, with TVK’s performance being seen as a potential game-changer. The party’s clean campaign and focus on development issues resonated with voters, particularly the youth. Sengottaiyan expressed confidence that under Vijay’s leadership, TVK will bring about transformative change in Tamil Nadu.
