Erode (Tamil Nadu): Tamilga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) leader Vijay has criticized the DMK, calling it an evil force. Vijay has been campaigning for the assembly elections for the past few months. According to reports, he has already completed his campaign in places like Trichy, Nagapattinam, and Karur. Meanwhile, at a rally in Vijayamangalam in Erode district on Thursday, Vijay began his speech to the cheers of his supporters.
The Yellow City of Erode
They say that any good work should begin with turmeric. Our mothers, sisters, and aunts wear yellow saris and pray for our well-being. We have launched our election campaign today from this yellow city, Erode. Our journey will undoubtedly be a journey to victory. This land of Erode will be a strong support for this.
The people will not abandon TVK.
The relationship between me and the people of Tamil Nadu is not something formed today or yesterday. This relationship has existed for the last 30-35 years. They will never abandon me. It is with this trust that I have come to them. They will not break my trust. I have come here trusting you. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life. No one can claim ownership of Anna.
Periyar was the only leader who demanded national representation a hundred years ago. He is our ideological leader. Some may ask, then who are former Chief Ministers Anna and MGR? We adopted ideology from Periyar. We adopted the electoral method from Anna and MGR. No one can claim ownership of Anna and MGR. They are Tamil Nadu’s property. No one should shed crocodile tears claiming that they belong only to them.
Therefore, no one can stop us from talking about them. We are doing politics in our own way. When you say you don’t consider us important, why are you so afraid of us? Why are you so worried about us? What difference does it make to you where we go? Why are you so afraid of us? The DMK is an evil force—the TVK is a pure force.
MGR and Jayalalithaa fiercely opposed the DMK and ran their politics accordingly. I often wondered why they opposed the DMK so much. But now I understand the reason. The DMK is an evil force. That’s why both of them opposed the DMK to the end. I am now repeating what they said. The DMK is an evil force. But the TVK is a pure force.
The DMK is afraid of the TVK.
The DMK is making many allegations against me, saying that Vijay doesn’t talk about politics and speaks only for eight minutes on stage. Why is the DMK, which claims it doesn’t consider us important, thinking about us? Because the DMK is afraid of the TVK. The DMK thinks about me 24 hours a day.
Tamil Nadu’s failure in education
The DMK is falsely propagating that Tamil Nadu is ahead in education. But in reality, students are suffering under DMK rule. School dropout rates are sky-high. Government schools are closing. But the DMK government is hiding all this. They have no concern for the people or students of Tamil Nadu.
Law and order is bad
Is there even law and order in Tamil Nadu? Can women go out safely? Law and order has collapsed in Tamil Nadu under DMK rule. But the DMK will never accept this. We won’t just make empty promises. Law and order will be much better under TVK’s rule. I assure you of this.
Who is speaking film dialogues?
The DMK accuses me of speaking film dialogues on stage. A few days ago, Chief Minister Stalin said at a DMK public meeting, “You won’t even understand my character.” Is this a dialogue from a film? Or is it a line taken from Silappathikaram? Chief Minister Stalin should explain this. “I want to say something to the Tamil Nadu government and the central government. You both don’t understand my character. After the elections, you will know who I am. My people are with me. Good things will happen,” Vijay said.
