In a message to his cadres, popular actor and now part-time politician Vijay addressed members of his Tamizhaga Vettri Kazhagam, urging them to work tirelessly for the people of Tamil Nadu as the party gears up for its first state conference.
The actor’s letter stated that their ultimate goal is to address the basic needs of Tamil Nadu’s citizens and to bring about change through both political and legal avenues.
“This has been a long-standing ambition burning within me,” Vijay wrote, encouraging his supporters to take pride in the upcoming state conference, which he described as a “festival of political principles” and a “victory policy festival.” He was confident the event would showcase the party’s strength and growing influence in the state’s political landscape.
Vijay urged cadres to approach their political work with speed and caution, stressing the importance of prudence and strategy in their efforts. He further mentioned that committee heads for the conference and in-charges for assembly constituencies would be announced soon, asking his supporters to continue their efforts with determination and inspiration.
As an advice to his cadres, he said that just like how a family respects only a responsible man, a nation will respect only a responsible citizen. Vijay employed wordplay with word ‘kudimagangal’ (Tamil word for citizens but in a literal sense its meaning turns out to be drinkers) to drive home the point that drinking and making merry at the conference should be avoided.
“Only role models would be hailed by people. Our cadres should strive to be role models is my wish. The people of this country should realize that our cadres function with military discipline from the start of the conference preparations to the conference day participation.”, he said.
Vijay’s move into politics has been closely watched by political observers, and his growing influence, particularly among young voters, has made headlines across the state. The upcoming state conference is expected to be a significant event in solidifying his political presence.
