A political war of words broke out on Sunday, January 25, 2026, after the AIADMK’s IT Wing launched a scathing counterattack against actor-turned-politician Vijay, who heads Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK), following his sharp criticism of the party at a cadre meeting in Mamallapuram.
Taking to X, the AIADMK IT Wing accused Vijay of corruption and double standards, branding him “the massively corrupt person” and alleging that he amassed several crores of rupees through the illegal black-market sale of movie tickets.
In a strongly worded post, the IT Wing stated: “Panaiyur landlord, Corruption is the act of earning money illegally. By that definition, you—actor Vijay (@actorvijay), who allegedly earned several crores by continuously selling tickets on the black market in violation of the law—are the massively corrupt person of all. “Being a slave to the Central government” is not something that exists anywhere in the history of the AIADMK. Whenever there has been a challenge to the welfare and rights of the state, our great movement—the AIADMK—has fought for Tamil Nadu’s rights, secured them, and argued for and obtained benefits for the people. That is the historical record. Shall we name the film for whose release you stood with folded hands for five hours outside the then Chief Minister’s house? Or can you name the Chief Minister who helped you without expecting anything in return? Corruption is not just about making money through politics. Bowing before power centres to increase one’s income through undue influence also falls under the same category, Panaiyur man. You call the AIADMK government corrupt, yet you seat Sengottaiyan, who was the Education Minister in that very government, right beside you as your coordinator. Is that your explanation of “purity” and “clean power”? Whether you do it or not, but aren’t you also one of the reasons for the death of 41 people in Karur? Without making any atonement for that, didn’t you hide in Panaiyur for over 72 days out of fear of what case might come, and even keep the party office closed for 15 days? That itself is the answer to how “brave” you are. In world history, for the first time, instead of going to the homes of the deceased to offer condolences, you made them come to Panaiyur to console you. That’s next-level landlord arrogance! For this, you could even be awarded a Doctorate! Without going to Karur to wipe away tears, you staged a token condolence event with glycerine tears and photographs, and even there, without the slightest sense of guilt, indulged in self-promotion. Such narcissistic behaviour is a very dangerous sign in politics. In politics, one may be good, one may be capable, but one should never be someone who understands nothing, deceives even his own fans, and continues to be just a director-actor, like the TVK leader. Every single argument you reel off about our party, as if memorised and recited, is nothing but top-class garbage. Along with the garbage of Anna Arivalayam, let us also throw out the garbage of Panaiyur. DOT.”
பனையூர் பண்ணையார் அவர்களே,
ஊழல் என்பது சட்டவிரோதமாக பணம் சம்பாதிக்கும் செயல். அப்படிப் பார்த்தால், சட்டத்திற்கு விரோதமாக, தொடர்ந்து ப்ளாக்கில் டிக்கெட் விற்று அதன் மூலம் பல கோடிகள் கண்ட நடிகர் விஜய் @actorvijay ஆகிய நீங்கள் தான் ஆகப்பெரும் ஊழல்வாதி.
‘மத்திய அரசிற்கு அடிமை’…

The post was issued as a direct response to Vijay’s first major political attack on the AIADMK, where he accused the party of being subservient to the Central government—marking a sharp escalation in the political confrontation between the two sides.
