DMK’s TKS Elangovan Accuses TVK Chief Vijay of Serving BJP Interests

Elangovan dismissed Vijay’s recent electoral success, suggesting the TVK owes its political standing to the Election Commission of India rather than genuine public support. He claimed that the TVK’s rise was the result of external manipulation and predicted a backlash, noting that voters in contested constituencies are actively rejecting TVK candidates on the campaign trail. He described Vijay as the most effective political tool currently available to the BJP in the state.

These comments follow a public address by Chief Minister Vijay, who defended his government’s record in Dharapuram. Vijay rejected allegations of dynastic ambition, asserting that his administration is focused on fulfilling campaign promises and fostering a corruption-free environment. He emphasized that the 2026 electoral mandate was a clear call for change, dismissing the opposition's claims that his party acts with a monarchical mindset. The exchange underscores the intensifying rivalry between the ruling TVK and the DMK as both parties vie for influence in the region.
