If you want an example of the statement, ‘irony died a million deaths’, it could be the TVK candidate list that the party chief Joseph Vijay unveiled on 29 March 2026.
Among the ridiculous names that are on the list is a ganja-case accused as well.
Joseph Vijay who has been talking on and on about giving a drug-free Tamil Nadu, has given a ticket to a ganja-accused!
According to reports, Kandeeban was arrested in a ganja-related case and released on bail shortly before his candidature was announced. Residents have also alleged that multiple cases including serious charges such as murder, attempted murder, robbery, assault, and kidnapping are pending against him.
He has been given a ticket for the Peravurani constituency.

The controversy adds to a growing list of concerns around TVK’s candidate lineup, with questions being raised whether the party’s promise of systemic change aligns with the backgrounds of those it has fielded.
