Chennai, July 4, 2025: Actor-politician Vijay has been announced as the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam’s (TVK) official chief ministerial candidate for the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. The party has ruled out the possibility of any alliance with neither the DMK or the BJP. 

A special resolution was adopted in the party’s executive committee meeting in this regard. Also, the party has proposed to hold a state conference on a large scale, next month. The party has decided to hold public meetings in villages to disseminate the party’s ideology. 

Vijay headed the TVK State Executive Committee Meeting at the party headquarters in Chennai today. The meeting was crucial ahead of the upcoming elections, where several resolutions were passed.

The TVK state executive committee said that Union Home Amit Shah’s recent comments on the English language have "malicious" intentions and a "direct" assault on Tamil Nadu’s two-language policy.

The TVK mentioned that the party will never accept the imposition of Hindi and the Sanskrit language on Tamil Nadu. The party also condemned the Election Commission of India’s decision to conduct electoral revision and stated that the main purpose of it is to reduce minority votes in the state.

The Committee noted that the electoral revision is being conducted to increase the pro-BJP votes, which is against democracy.

Several other decisions related to TVK head Vijay’s outreach program were taken ahead of the 2026 Tamil Nadu assembly elections.
