Vijay for PM? TVK leaders make 2029 pitch, Congress reacts
This sudden push for the “Vijay for PM” narrative has irked Congress, with party leaders remarking that TVK leaders are still operating in a “fan-club mode.”
Tamil Nadu's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) leader Vijay has been increasingly pushed as a potential Prime Minister for the 2029 Indian general elections. This has drawn criticism from the Congress party, with senior leaders expressing their disapproval. TVK leader KA Sengottaiyan claimed that people from northern Indian states also see Vijay as a likely future leader.
The party's 100-day achievements were highlighted during a public meeting in Tiruppur, where TVK legislators praised Vijay's work ethic and proclaimed him as the next Indian PM. However, Congress leaders refute these claims, stating that TVK leaders are still operating in a "fan-club mode" and not focused on national governance.
The Congress party, particularly, remains focused on projecting its own candidate, Rahul Gandhi, as the potential Prime Minister for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
