Just a few days ago, an audio of actor-turned-politician Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK)’s political strategist John Arokiasamy, was leaked on social media. In the clip, Arokiasamy critiques TVK’s leadership and structure, accusing General Secretary Bussy Anand of overshadowing Vijay and projecting himself as the party’s face, diluting Vijay’s cult appeal. He warns that such missteps could result in TVK failing to secure even 2% of the vote in the 2026 elections.

Arokiasamy expressed frustration over the party’s inability to mobilize its fan base effectively and criticized Vijay’s perceived lack of proactive engagement, labeling him a “work-from-home politician.” Drawing comparisons to other political parties, he emphasized the importance of a strong, central figure as the face of a party and cautioned against weakening Vijay’s image. He also questioned TVK’s ability to form alliances or gain significant traction under its current strategy, highlighting internal discontent and strategic mismanagement.

A second audio was leaked recently and Arokiasamy is once again found critiquing the leaders of the TVK.

He says, “…’16, ’19, ’21, Now ’24. The last time he took the weapon – Madam. He tried it with Madam also. She refused to enter. I don’t know. If he sends me, I am not connected to it. Be careful with intel. They will use you and finish you when needed. You must be thinking that he will do everything for us. Be very, very careful. What is important to you? You wanted to become Pondy CM and come here and do this and that. Even that will not be in hand. That is the truth. Whatever the reason, do not trust him and do not do anything to Sir or the party. Else you will regret it in the future. For now, it seems fine, that everyone is doing everything for you. But they will sting you when the time comes. He looks at him like a henchman. With what courage is he saying? He is saying finish the work on time, if not tell me I will talk to sir. As if we are stopping the work from happening/keeping it pending. He’s a split personality, sir, if you see him, he’ll be like this once, he’ll be like something else sometimes, you won’t be able to understand him, once he’ll pretend as if he is very interested and working for your interest. Then suddenly he will destroy this for his own interest. Dual personality. Don’t know what he is caught in. Pandi Saravanan, his assistant said it. He says he is a teetotaler and has no vices. But your leader, he indulges in everything, he said. About 6 months ago. We share these videos, right, he asked if all that will be tracked. When I asked why, he said he asked just out of curiosity. I am alerting him also. GS is in the team, he is the same brand as sir, and he is with sir. Don’t damage the ones who are there, don’t touch them, wherever they go, no matter what strategy I tell him it will get passed on to sir, there is news that goes there. This is the problem. How do I tell him? None of us can tell him. Caste census is gone. I also discussed the strategy for the conference, we discussed that he must concentrate on (inaudible/cut) issue primarily. But two days later we hear the news that a TVK cadre is arrested in a ganja case. I insisted that we take up the issue of drugs seriously and it happened as if they turned it against us entirely. Only we 3 are talking, sir won’t tell Uday or anyone else, how did it get leaked? Another thing is, climate is the biggest problem now. It is devastating during rains. A few days ago, a special team went to Japan to study disaster management. Do you think they will take so much interest? The team comprised of IAS officers. So you are leaking all our strategies. How can you wage a war?”
