Tamil Nadu BJP chief Nainar Nagenthran demands CM Vijay’s resignation over law and order

On October 10, 2026, Tamil Nadu BJP chief Nainar Nagenthran demanded Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay's resignation due to his perceived failure to maintain law and order in the state. In a social media post, Nagenthran cited allegations that TVK MLA Arul Vignesh had sent inappropriate messages to Kallakurichi Collector and later visited her residence while under the influence of alcohol.

The legislator has denied these accusations. Nagenthran questioned the safety of the general public, comparing the incident to the murder of a Special Sub-Inspector of Police on Deepavali night, arguing that the public is not safe if even a policeman can be murdered. Nagenthran also pointed out 14 murders reported across the state on Deepavali day, stating that people are not safe.

He accused Vijay of taking measures that were merely "eyewash" and stated that the Chief Minister had no moral right to continue in office, demanding his resignation.
