On April 17, 2025, the president of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) took to X to celebrate a supposed “victory” in the Supreme Court regarding the Waqf (Amendment) Act. The only problem? The entire post is a colossal mess of falsehoods, inaccuracies, and delusions of grandeur that expose Vijay as a political novice who can’t even get his facts straight. Let’s break this down and see just how deep this rabbit hole of embarrassment goes.
We are deeply grateful to the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India for its order today on our petition against the Waqf Amendment Act, 2005. The Union Government is refrained from acting upon the key provisions of the bill that are unconstitutional, be it inclusion of non Muslims in…

Error #1: The Waqf (Amendment) Act You’re Opposing Is Of 2025, Not 2005
First off, Vijay proudly declares his gratitude to the Supreme Court for its ruling on the Waqf Amendment Act, which he claims is from 2005. Wrong. The Waqf (Amendment) Act in question was passed in 2025, as confirmed by multiple sources, including the Indian Lok Sabha records and Wikipedia. This isn’t just a “typo” as some of his die-hard fans might claim—it’s a fundamental error that shows Vijay doesn’t even know the basic timeline of the legislation he’s supposedly fighting against. For someone who’s trying to position himself as a serious political leader, this is beyond laughable. It’s as if he googled “Waqf Act,” saw the first date that popped up, and ran with it without a second thought. Is this the kind of leadership Tamil Nadu deserves? A man who can’t tell 2005 from 2025?
Error #2: Vijay’s Case Wasn’t Even Heard
Here’s where things get even more pathetic. Vijay’s post claims that the Supreme Court issued an order on TVK’s petition, halting key provisions of the Waqf (Amendment) Act. Newsflash, Vijay: your petition hasn’t even been heard yet! According to the Supreme Court’s own records, TVK’s petition (Diary Number 19435/2025) was filed on April 13, 2025, and is scheduled for a hearing on April 24, 2025—if it even makes the cut. The court has explicitly stated that only five petitions will be taken up, and there’s no guarantee yours will be one of them. The interim order Vijay is gloating about actually pertains to a different petition filed by Asaduddin Owaisi on April 4, 2025 (Diary Number 17837/2025). So, while Owaisi and others were actually in the ring fighting, Vijay was busy taking credit for a match he didn’t even show up for. How utterly shameless.
Error #3: Abhishek Singhvi Isn’t Your Advocate
Vijay goes on to thank Senior Counsel Dr. Abhishek Manu Singhvi for “arguing on behalf of our party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam for two days successfully.” This might sound impressive—except for the tiny detail that Singhvi isn’t even representing TVK. According to the Supreme Court’s records, TVK’s advocate is Sudarshan Lamba, not Singhvi. Singhvi might be involved in other petitions challenging the Waqf Act, but he’s certainly not Vijay’s knight in shining armor. This isn’t just a minor mix-up; it’s a blatant attempt to piggyback on someone else’s credibility to make TVK look more legitimate. Vijay, if you’re going to name-drop, at least make sure the person is actually on your team. Otherwise, you just look like a desperate wannabe trying to impress the grown-ups at the table.
‘Tharkuri Vijay Kazhagam’: Vijay’s Political Incompetence On Full Display
Let’s step back for a moment and consider what this fiasco reveals about Vijay as a political figure. Vijay can’t even get the year of a major piece of legislation right, can’t tell the difference between his own pending case and someone else’s victory, and can’t even correctly identify his own legal team. How do you justify a leader who can’t even fact-check a single tweet before hitting “post”?
Not The First Time His Tharkuriness Has Got Exposed
The two elephants in Vijay’s flag do not essentially look like Asian elephants but African elephants. Additionally, the BSP’s Tamil Nadu branch has issued a warning demanding the immediate removal of the elephant imagery from Vijay’s flag. They have threatened to file a complaint with the Election Commission and pursue legal action if their demands are unmet.
The logo also features a pink flower, which is said to be the Vaagai flower (Siris tree/Albizia lebbeck).
However, the team seems to have mistaken the Monkeypod tree (Raintree/Samanea saman) flower for the original Vaagai flower. Soldiers wore garlands of Vaagai flowers after a victory during ancient times. Colloquially, the monkeypod tree is called ‘Thoongumoonji Maram’ which in Tamil translates to “Drowsy Face Tree”, as the tree’s leaves droop when the sunshine is less. Its bright pink flower resembles the white Vaagai flower.
His party anthem video were full of spelling mistakes in Tamil, with the party ironically being named “Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam”.
When he announced his party through a press release, many pointed out the grammatical error in the Tamil name of the party. It should’ve been Tamilaga Vettrik Kazhagam instead of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam. He later rectified the mistake with the party’s general secretary approaching the ECI for name correction.
A Message To Vijay: Do Better Or Step Aside
Vijay, if you’re reading this—and let’s hope you are, because someone needs to knock some sense into you—here’s some advice: politics isn’t a movie set. You can’t just show up, deliver a heroic dialogue, and expect the audience to clap. If you’re serious about Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam and the people of Tamil Nadu, then stop embarrassing yourself with these childish blunders. Get your facts straight, surround yourself with advisors who actually know what they’re doing, and maybe—just maybe—think twice before you tweet. Because right now, the only thing you’re winning is the award for the most clueless political debutant of the year.
