Villupuram (Tamil Nadu). Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) leader and Tamil film actor Vijay Joseph said here on Sunday that the forces dividing the country on religious lines and corrupt people are the enemies of his party. Vijay said that his party is based on the ideologies of secular social justice and EVR Periyar and K. Leaders like Kamaraj are the guides of the party.
TVK founder Vijay, who entered Tamil Nadu politics, took a dig at Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and its first family, saying that the ruling. The party leaders are calling the anti-people government a Dravidian model government. The Dravidian model government refers to the oft-repeated statements of DMK President and Chief Minister MK Stalin. Stalin had said that the DMK model of governance is inclusive, which ensures the well-being of all sections of the Tamil society.
Vijay, in his first speech eight months after announcing the launch of TVK, said that late veterans MG Ramachandran and NT Rama Rao were ridiculed as mere cinema actors when they entered politics, ‘but they were from their respective states, namely Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. It is still intact in the hearts of the people. Addressing a public meeting at Vikravandi in the district, he said, “Here some people are painting every person who enters politics in a particular colour, fooling people but are engaged in bargaining behind the backs, noise during elections.” Will create ruckus and will always talk about fascism and create fear of majority-minority among united people. Vijay said, you are calling the anti-people government as Dravidian model governance and fooling the people. Stop painting your opponents in special colors. TVK’s principle is that everyone is equal by birth.
He asked, “Do I need to tell who is opposing this?” Vijay said, “They will play out the ideology.” Will wear the cloak of protector of culture. It has no face but only a mask. The mask is the face. Corrupt hypocrites are among us and are currently ruling us. One enemy of TVK is the divisive forces while such corrupt hypocrites are the other enemy.
Vijay said, the people who are spoiling the country with divisive politics are the main ideological enemies of TVK. The next selfish family is looting Tamil Nadu in the name of Dravidian model (governance), using the name of Periyar and Anna, who is our political enemy. He said that TVK does not consider Dravidianism and Tamil nationalism as separate.
When asked why he did not name any of the people he criticized, Vijay said, “I did not leave out their names out of fear but we did not come here to take names of people and use abusive language on them.” “We want to pursue civilized politics with people’s support, civilized approach and attack on ideological and political enemies,” he said.
Vijay said, the ideologies of secular social justice will be our identity. Democracy, equality, rational thinking, respect for women and drug free Tamil Nadu (will be the focus). Women will play an important role in our political journey. Remembering his late sister, the actor said that just as her death had affected him, the alleged suicide of S Anitha, a medical student from Ariyalur in the state, had also affected him. Made a deep impact.
Anita could not pass NEET. He questioned the need for medical entrance examination. Vijay (50) said that he entered politics to serve the people and took this decision at the peak of his career and sacrificing good money.
