Upon the announcement of implementing the Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 by the central government on 11 March 2024, immediate turmoil ensued in Tamil Nadu, particularly from the Dravidian parties. This response was not unprecedented, but the situation took a new turn when actor Vijay, a recent entrant into politics who revealed his party’s name just last week, joined the fray.

Vijay faced significant criticism as there is a recurring pattern in Tamil Nadu politics where newly launched parties, despite declaring a “My Way Is New Alternative” akin to Rajinikanth’s famous dialogue, often align themselves closely with the established mother-ship Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK). This trend was exemplified recently when Kamal Haasan, the leader of Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) party, made a notable U-turn by forming an alliance with the DMK.

An old video of a devoted fan of Vijay visiting the residence of the actor on Casuarina Drive Street, ECR Neelankarai, Chennai went viral on social media platform X.  In a heartfelt display of admiration, the fan reverently approached the imposing door like gate. Kneeling down and prostrating, he expressed his devotion while acknowledging the presence of a CCTV camera. With deep affection, he conveyed his love for the actor, once again kneeling down in a manner reminiscent of worship in a church. The fan folded his hands in reverence towards the CCTV camera and concluded this unique homage by tenderly flying kiss to the camera.

The online community is questioning Vijay, the actor-turned-politician, who has strategically installed a an imposing gate at his residence to restrict access and maintain privacy. However, it seems he may not be aware that the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) explicitly states that entry into India requires permission.

Here are some videos of the gate at Vijay’s house. Fans are seen taking pictures in front of the imposing gate.

This video shows Vijay’s home as well from outside – when the gate opened to allow Vijay who came in his BMW X4 to enter.

In this video, the YouTuber states that if one wants to have a look at Vijay’s house, they can only see the imposing gate and the compound wall.

This observation arises as Vijay, through his official party Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam’s X handle, shared a statement. “Any law like the Indian Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 (CAA) is not acceptable in an environment where all the people of the country are living in social harmony. The rulers should give an assurance that they will not implement this law in Tamil Nadu.”

Critics argue that Vijay who has decided to enter public life is keeping his fans and followers at bay. They wonder if he will be an inaccessible politician for the masses.

Here’s another instance where netizens connected and questioned Vijay’s stand on the CAA. Back in 2021, Vijay filed a petition challenging entry tax on his 2012 Rolls Royce Ghost. The petition was dismissed by the Madras High Court. The court ruled that Vijay, a renowned actor, should promptly pay the tax and imposed a ₹1 lakh fine. Despite reportedly paying the import duty, he faced registration issues due to unpaid entry tax. The court highlighted the extraordinary tax avoidance, emphasizing that, as a public figure, Vijay should comprehend the significance of adhering to tax regulations.

Netizens wondered if he was aware of the implications of the CAA on persecuted minorities of the 3 neighbouring nations. It is noteworthy that his short press release indicated his lack of awareness on the subject.

The recent surge in trolling directed at actor Vijay has placed his fans, particularly the younger generation who understand the situation, in a challenging position. Despite their efforts to support him, they find it difficult to do so, given the statements made by their leader. The politician, expected to have open communication with the public, is now being mocked for having such a huge gate. Meanwhile, amidst ongoing drug busts, the aspiring leader remains conspicuously silent with no official statements released. The question circulating on social media is whether TVK is becoming another MNM.
