CHENNAI: Actor-politician and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) leader Vijay, who halted his election campaign after the tragic incident in Karur where 41 people died in a stampede-like situation during his rally, is now likely to resume his political tour from Salem, according to senior party functionaries.
Vijay had suspended all campaign activities immediately after the disaster in Karur, which occurred when a massive crowd surged towards him during a public meeting. The incident deeply shocked the party’s leadership and its supporters, with TVK insiders stating that the actor-turned-politician has still not fully recovered emotionally from the tragedy.
Despite the setback, Vijay participated in the recently held Special General Committee and Executive Committee meetings of the TVK in Chennai. During the meeting, he reportedly stated that his political journey would continue with greater determination and used the platform to strongly criticise the ruling DMK government.
