Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) leader and actor Vijay continued his state-wide tour on 20 September 2025, covering Nagapattinam and Thiruvarur as part of the second phase of his campaign.
Vijay began his journey in Nagapattinam in the afternoon, performing prayers and meeting volunteers who had gathered in large numbers. “Like Trichy and Ariyalur, Nagapattinam was also crowded with fans and volunteers,” observers said. He was surrounded by a contingent of volunteers as he campaigned across the town.
Later in the day, Vijay reached Thiruvarur, where he received a rousing welcome from supporters. Volunteers gave him a warm reception as he arrived after completing his Nagapattinam visit.
During the campaign, Vijay climbed onto a vehicle to greet the crowd. At that moment, a volunteer presented him with a human-sized Vel. Vijay lifted the Vel and waved it towards the volunteers, drawing loud cheers from his supporters.

However, the event also witnessed controversy in Thiruvarur. As Vijay prepared to deliver his speech, there was commotion after the party cadre climbed the temple tower in the area. Police intervened and removed them from the tower. Eyewitnesses reported that several cadre were wearing shoes and standing on the tower. The incident drew sharp criticism.

சுயபுத்தி இல்லாவிட்டால்.. சொல்புத்தியாவது இருக்க வேண்டும். இல்லாவிட்டால் பொதுமக்களின் அதிருப்தியை பெறுவது உறுதி.pic.twitter.com/dT0eV5lW9U
