Vijay projected as ‘Tomorrow’s PM’ in posters in Tamil Nadu's Thoothukudi
The posters were put up by the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) functionary Sudhakar, who recently joined the Vijay-led party after leaving AIADMK.
Vijay, the chief minister of Tamil Nadu, is being depicted as "Tomorrow's PM" through posters displayed in Thoothukudi, the city's port-industrial hub. These posters were put up by a Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) official named Sudhakar, who recently switched from the AIADMK party to join Vijay's led party. This projection of Vijay as a possible prime ministerial candidate emerged after Tamil Nadu Sports Minister Aadhav Arjuna voiced his support for Vijay, raising concerns about the country's political landscape.
Arjuna argued that the current political system, where a few northern states decide the Prime Minister, must change and that a PM from a southern state, specifically Tamil Nadu, should emerge. Arjuna also highlighted the issue of inadequate representation in Parliament, claiming that the lack of it has enabled the Union Government to impose policies against the state's will.
This resolution is not about Congress versus the BJP, but rather about preserving state autonomy and ensuring that Tamil Nadu's voice is not marginalized in the future.
