Tamil actor Vijay has announced that his political party, Tamizhaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), will hold its first state conference on October 27 in Tamil Nadu’s Villupuram district.
Vijay announced this upcoming TVK meet in a statement on Friday.
This meeting will be held at 4 p.m. on October 27 in V. Salai village in Vikravandi block in Villupuram district. Vijay will also announce the party’s political ideology, state office-bearers, and policy-based action plans at the meet.
The actor said in the statement, “Our first-ever state conference will be celebrated as a political festival and celebration of ideologies that will guide us and the goals that we will achieve. The conference would spell out the ideology based on which the party will function.”
Vijay also said the conference’s preparatory work had already commenced and would be accelerated soon.
The Tamil actor said in the statement that TVK general secretary N. Anand would meet the Villupuram district collector and police superintendent with a fresh letter seeking permission and police security.
It may be noted that the party’s first state conference was earlier scheduled for September 23, but it was postponed due to various factors, including permission-related issues.
Vijay announced on September 8 that the Election Commission of India (ECI) recognized his party, Tamizhaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK).
Vijay had floated his party in February 2024, saying that TVK would not contest the 2024 Lok Sabha polls and that the party aimed to contest the 2026 Assembly elections from Tamil Nadu.
He then said that his fan club, All India Thalapathy Vijay Makkal Iyakkam (AITVMI), has been working for the welfare of the people for many years but cannot bring full-fledged social, economic, and political reforms on its own, and for that, political power is required.
In the last local body polls of 2021, members of the actor’s fan AITVMI won 115 of the 169 seats they contested. Interestingly, Tamil superstar Kamal Haasan‘s party Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) and actor-director Seeman’s Naam Thamizhar Katchi (NTK) drew a blank in the local body polls.
