Vijay’s TVK Signals Openness to Back Congress in Tamil Nadu Elections

The overture is cast as a chance for the Congress to regain relevance in a state long dominated by Dravidian parties.

Overview

  • S A Chandrashekar said Vijay is prepared to support the Congress to help restore its “old glory,” framing the choice as the Congress’s to make.
  • He argued the Congress has waned by backing others and suggested an understanding with TVK could help it reconnect with voters.
  • TVK has ruled out alliances with the DMK or BJP and has indicated any partner must accept Vijay as the chief ministerial candidate.
  • The Congress leadership has recently reaffirmed its tie-up with the DMK in Tamil Nadu, and no arrangement with TVK has been announced.
  • Vijay is also contending with CBI questioning over the Karur stampede and unresolved censor-board issues related to his film.
