Madurai conference of TVK will be turning point in TN politics: Vijay

Madurai, Aug 18 (IANS) Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) President Vijay has declared that the party’s upcoming second state conference in Madurai will mark a turning point in Tamil Nadu’s political history.

The conference, scheduled to be held on August 21 at Parapatti, is expected to be one of the largest political gatherings in recent years and a defining moment in TVK’s political journey.

In a message to his party workers, Vijay described the conference as a historic milestone that would announce TVK’s readiness to play a decisive role in the 2026 Assembly elections.

“The people’s deep love and support for TVK will soon be reflected in the political arena. Our dream will be realised, our goal achieved, and a revolution that will overturn the existing order will take shape in the coming months,” he stated.

Recalling the sweeping victories of 1967 and 1977, which reshaped Tamil Nadu politics, Vijay said similar results would be seen again in 2026.

“The great electoral history of this land will be repeated, and the people’s power will once again define the course of the state,” he added.

He highlighted that TVK has been working as a people’s movement for more than 32 years, consistently connecting with the aspirations of the masses.

Vijay also urged his cadres to maintain discipline and ensure safety during the Madurai conference. He requested that pregnant women, senior citizens, schoolchildren, and the differently-abled watch the proceedings live from their homes for their own convenience.

“It is our primary duty to show through our conduct that TVK is a responsible and people-centred political movement,” he emphasised.

Underscoring his vision of “democracy based on conscience,” Vijay said TVK is firmly committed to politics that serve only the people’s interests.

He asserted that Tamil Nadu would once again witness the creation of great electoral history, with the state conference acting as a launchpad for that transformation.

“I will be waiting with open arms and an open heart in the land of Madurai, where your emotions are rooted. Let us unite in Parapatti and march together towards victory in the political battlefield,” Vijay said, extending a heartfelt invitation to his supporters.
