Part-time politician and actor Vijay took to his social media to announce his party getting recognized as a registered political outfit by the Election Commission of India.
In an official statement, Vijay stated “Our approach to politics with the basic tenet of ‘All are one and equal at birth’, is a celebration in itself. However, we’ve been waiting to celebrate in full until the legal recognition as a political party. Now, we’ve got that permission.”
He said that his party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) was submitted its application to the Election Commission on 2 February 2024 and that it has now recognized his party as a registered party in electoral politics.
“I am very happy to share with you this news”, Vijay said adding that the first door has now opened towards victory.
He asked his cadres to wait as efforts are underway for the first state-level rally of his party which is scheduled to happen in September third week.
Adding further he said “We’ll break all obstacles, hoist the flag, carry our ideological lamp, and grow as a primary political party for Tamil people in Tamil Nadu. We’ll carry our ‘victory flag’ and meet people. Let’s emerge victorious.”
His announcement comes a day after Vinayagar Chaturthi, a day celebrating the birth of Hindu God Vinayagar, the elephant-god who is the remover of obstacles.

Vijay who claims to profess a politics for all did not wish Hindus on the occasion of Vinayagar Chathurthi. However, he did wish Muslims on Ramzan and Christians on Easter. Ironically, his party’s flag has two elephants.
It is noteworthy to mention that his latest film “The Greatest Of All Time” was released on Thursday coinciding with Vinayagar Chathurthi celebrations so that the film makes money.
Many on social media have called out the hypocrisy of Vijay who claims that his party is for all humans regardless of caste and religion is just emulating DMK’s Dravidian Model which too doesn’t wish Hindus on festivals like Vinayagar Chathurthi or Deepavali and disrespects Hindu sentiments.

Waited till 7 pm to tweet this, hoping sense will prevail and a nuetral face will be projected by @actorvijay New political party. Same old strategy. Appeasement of minorities. Opportunistic Hindu. Stooping so low already to the extent of copying @arivalayam style of not wishing…
