Tamil Nadu BJP President K. Annamalai took a swipe at part-time politician Vijay for his inconsistent position on the language policy, especially after he once again opposed the idea of introducing a third language during his party’s second anniversary celebration. Speaking to a crowd in Coimbatore, Annamalai questioned why Vijay’s children and the school he runs, Vijay Vidhyashram, follow a three-language policy, while his party (Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam) cadres are expected to study under a two-language system.
Annamalai remarked, “I want to tell Vijay, practice what you preach, bro. Why bro are you spreading lies? Your children study three languages, and your school Vijay Vidhyashram follows a three-language policy. But the children of TVK party cadres are expected to study just two languages? What bro? Practice what you preach bro!”

This criticism followed Vijay’s involvement in the ongoing language debate between the DMK-led Tamil Nadu government and the BJP-led Centre. During TVK’s first-anniversary event, Vijay targeted both the state and central governments, accusing them of misleading the public while pretending to have differences on the issue. He also ridiculed the Centre’s position on the National Education Policy (NEP), comparing the political dispute to a childish argument.
Vijay also mocked the BJP and DMK’s social media clashes over the language issue, saying, “They’re just playing on social media with hashtags, pretending to fight, and expect us to buy it. What bro, that’s really wrong, bro.”
Annamalai didn’t stop there, also taking aim at Vijay’s involvement in the #GetOut campaign, launched at TVK’s anniversary event. Vijay, along with party leaders Aadhav Arjun and N Anand, signed a board with the message “Get Out,” but Annamalai pointed out that political strategist Prashant Kishor, who played a significant role in the 2021 DMK victory, did not sign the board.
