‘Fascist forces will fail’: Vijay launches fierce attack on DMK, accuses government of blocking TVK campaign moves

It was one of those political mornings when the lines between film-star flair and election heat blurred again in Tamil Nadu politics. TVK president and actor-turned-politician Vijay has once more turned up the volume, this time pointing fingers at the ruling DMK government and alleging a pattern of hurdles being thrown at his party’s campaign plans.

In a sharp statement, Vijay claimed that TVK’s election journey slowed down from behind the scenes. According to him, officials allegedly close to the ruling party are delaying permission letters for campaign events, cancelling propaganda programmes at the last minute, and even pushing “fabricated news” into the media about TVK’s activities.

He insisted that even though the Election Commission holds authority during polls, the “caretaker DMK government” is still exerting pressure and blocking candidates linked to his party.

Permission delays, last-minute cancellations, and “media drama” claims

Vijay’s complaint was not just about paperwork delays. He painted a larger picture of what he called systematic disruption. He alleged that TVK events are being approved late or cancelled abruptly, leaving organisers scrambling.

Vijay also accused sections of the administration of spreading false reports in the media about whether TVK programmes are happening or not.

In his statement, Vijay invoked the political legacy of Periyar, Kamarajar, and Anna, saying that Tamil Nadu’s social foundation is strong enough that “fascist forces can never take root” in the state’s secular soil. He further claimed that history itself shows voters have not traditionally given “an anti-people” DMK government a second chance after over fifty years of electoral experience in the state.

“Whistle storm,” silent support, and sharp attack on DMK

Taking a more campaign-style tone, Vijay also projected confidence in TVK’s ground support. He said the party is not relying only on traditional street campaigning. Instead, he described a growing “silent, spontaneous and people-driven” support that, according to him, is spreading across households in Tamil Nadu.

He also drew a deadline-style political picture, saying, “All this play lasts only till April 21.” He added that on April 23, not just corrupt forces but “fascist forces” would fall in what he dramatically called a “whistle storm,” hinting at strong voter backlash.

Ending his statement with a sharp attack, Vijay described the DMK as a “limited company” that has governed, in his words, without limits on corruption and false promises. He assured supporters that in this election, the people themselves would “limit” the party’s influence.
