CM Vijay positions TVK as organic successor to AIADMK, justifies Dharapuram candidate’s party switchover
Vijay addresses bypoll campaign meeting in Dharapuram; extols the leadership acumen of late Chief Ministers Jayalalithaa and M.G. Ramachandran in handling arch-rival DMK
Chief Minister C. Vijay emphasized on Wednesday that his party, TVK, aims to become the natural successor to the AIADMK. He lauded the leadership skills of former Chief Ministers Jayalalithaa and M.G. Ramachandran, highlighting their ability to manage rival DMK. Vijay criticized the AIADMK leadership's proposed alliance with the DMK, stating that it negated the legacies of iconic leaders.
He dismissed the opposition's claim that Sathyabama, a TVK candidate, was bought over, explaining that her switch to TVK followed her resignation from the AIADMK in May. Sathyabama, who broke down in tears during her speech, attributed her decision to leave the AIADMK to dissatisfaction with the party's mentality under general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami.
Vijay assured that TVK would prioritize infrastructure projects for the Dharapuram constituency, including irrigation and drinking water supply. He urged voters to reject opposition lies and vote for the TVK candidate, emphasizing the party's commitment to addressing corruption and family hegemony in politics.
