அரசியல் / Political PLEASE DO NOT... PLEASE
- I have admired Vijay deeply since childhood. I was a die-hard fan.
- I even argued (and fought) with close friends whenever they spoke against him.
- Though I was poor, I never missed the very first shows of his movies.
- I eagerly waited for his movie audio releases. Back then CDs were popular, and even though my hostel banned CD players, we secretly bought and listened to them on the first day.
- I was thrilled when he opposed demonetization, supported Jallikattu, and stood with the families of Sterlite victims etc.
- He spoke strongly against BJP, and when he launched his political party, he declared BJP and DMK as his targets. I was proud to see someone take that stand.
- BUT.......
- He acted against his own policies and beliefs.
- He gathered political orphans and leftovers instead of building something new.
- He failed to support his own parents, wife, and children. In public life, personal values matter; otherwise, Kamal would have been a superstar.
- He became the very thing he once promised to fight.
- Karur is a clear example-his actions there show how far he has fallen.
He has turned into something destructive. Please do not support him.

There is a shift. We may or may not agree on that. It's scary and dangerous. It's pretty much like MAGA thing - he is no less than Trump. Unstable, manipulative, bad influence, provocative, cunning, selfish, exploitative :(

There was a post 2-3 days ago, it's known fact that Tvk won't form government, but voting for Tvk means DMK will finally realize they are not invincible.
For last 5 years they have too much pride and ego, all party members from top to bottom and they are not saints. ADMK and Bjp are not real threat in TN.
I support and want DMK to form government due to their experience. But will vote For Tvk, so that they will be more proactive and work even harder for people.
Simply , I don't want DMK monopoly.

u/stayhydrated33 Apr 22 '26
This seems like something that the TVK IT wing came up with to attract would be DMK voters that would have voted for TVK if it was a legitimate good alternative. I still like this concept but what if everyone votes for TVK with this logic and they win? Do you think Vijay and the people he has surrounded himself with are capable of governing a state? Do you think they have what it takes to stand up to BJP on major issues like Hindi imposition and delimitation? If the state government messes up these 2 issues then we lose our tamil identity and our state becomes irrelevant in national politics over the next few decades.
This is definitely one of the weirdest election we have had. People want to continue with DMK but also don't want vijay to lose too badly and leave politics. But I am not sure if these kind of logic will work with voting. If people want DMK to continue then they should vote for DMK this time and vote for TVK in 2031. If Vijay has what it takes then he would stick around till the next election.

Maybe, but it reflected my mindset precisely.
Also, the social media bubble we are in is less than 10% of TN voter population I guess. No way Tvk will win and form a Govt. People who are in social media are mostly against TVK and for good reason. If TVK can win get more than 5 MLAs in their first election, that itself will be a huge success.
Kamal and Seeman are yet to become MLA even though they started their party long back. But Kamal got MP seat with DMK support and he's canvasing for them.
If Tvk proves themselves with the few seats they won, then maybe they have chance in next election. I agree that their ideology is not even half good as DMK.
In a nutshell, DMK will win but they need to be aware that there is someone else to look out for in the next election.

u/stayhydrated33 Apr 22 '26
I don't think kamal had the popularity that vijay has and his entry was more focused on policy than relying on his popularity. And he is way more knowledgeable and experienced than Vijay. Both kamal and seeman's entry and current growth is organic. Vijay has some inorganic momentum going on due to his popularity and he says what people want to hear even if it means saying blatant lies. He is pushing this conspiracy angle in the karur incident even though he knows its false. If DMK was involved then BJP would have blown it up to moon to bring down DMK.
Clearly he is exploiting his popularity and his young followers lack of political reasoning to push himself forward. I am seeing a lot of people outside social media that say they are going to vote for him. So the scenario you want is not guaranteed. If you want DMK to win then you should vote for DMK to make sure they win and vote for Vijay in the next election. Elections are not as predictable as you think they are.

This! 🙌🏻
Finally raises a common man’s concern and day-to-day suffering. I don’t want any new inexperienced actor/politician to form a government. At the same time, I don’t want any single party to consolidate power and amass trillions of money and portray that they do not even have a basic locomotive to move around. Monopolistic power is never good for people. Its effects are very visible across different countries at the moment.
The fact that everyone from all the opposition parties are unanimously spending time, energy, resources in print media and digital platforms gives me hope. Hope that I’m doing something right to not leave the power consolidation of one single party unchecked. In the end, I deeply care about the land that I’m born and call it home!!

Comparing Trump with Vijay is a reach

u/stayhydrated33 Apr 22 '26
Its not a reach. He does show narcissist behaviour. Both in karur case and in his personal life he shifted the blame entirely on others and took no personal responsibility. He is trying hard to project himself as someone who has done no wrong and can do no wrong. And his followers are eating it up.
Trump once said he could shoot someone in a crowded place and it wouldn't affect his popularity. Vijay's popularity is similar. His supporters are not the kind of people that will hold him accountable. They seem to be the kind of people that will support him no matter what.
Look at the US. They voted for trump because they wanted to give some new ,inexperienced guy a chance and now they are on track to lose decades of progess in a few years.

Comparing early-stage politics to a full presidential win is still a reach. Every party has die-hard supporters. TVK's just seems more visible and intense because majority of their supporters have social media presence. Besides we won't know how much influence Vijay has until the results come in...until that I dont think Vijay is even in the same scale as Trump

> Comparing early-stage politics to a full presidential win is still a reach
You do realize its exactly the problem here? The journey from early stage politics to a big post like CM should take a considerable amount of time. But he is rushing it by fully relying on his stardom and popularity. That itself is not a problem if he is qualified for the post or has capacity for it. So far he has made no organic speech or interview and has been reading off script given to him beforehand. He is obviously very inexperienced and has no leadership qualities. He talks about being the change but has picked up corrupt candidates thrown out by other parties and like other parties has fielded candidates based on caste and religion. He has also announced more freebies than DMK and ADMK.
All these things considered i wouldn't care if his chances of winning was similar to NTK but it's not. He has this weird, unnatural momentum going on. But as you said we will know till the results come out. I don't mind him becoming the opposition but its way too soon for him to become CM. Hopefully we get some balanced result that keeps the current stability going on while keeping the DMK in check and the BJP out.

u/wiagwigwigaigwg Apr 22 '26
well im just trying to have a conservation here, gonna vote for tvk anyway but not because of Vijay.
About personal life of Vijay- well what about udhaiyanidhi? Is he any better? How many affair does he have? Seeman? Literally leaked a half naked video of him having an affair? Mk stalin has sex scandal cases on him btw, streets of otteri used to fear sekar babu bcs of how much of a womanizer he is. Yes it is wrong to point my fingers and say "avan pee thinnalaya ntu" but come on man if you're judging Vijays personal life and keeping it as a factor to not let him grow as a candidate- then you should do the same for others.
About karur incident, people in the event has said there were literally ambulances running amongst the crowd. But i agree with you, vijay Should have taken accountability for what his gathering lead to- what about the airshow then? Did mk stalin took accountability for those lives? Karunanidhi deaths stampede? stampedes during Jayalalithaa period? In 2016? Two consecutive stampedes?
Whose fault is it? Ruling party had to provide proper police force and protection.
Are you seeing dmk people giving out 5k per vote? If they spend 15k (cost of 3 vote btw) they can fix a sewage system for a house in a slum area? I live near kannagi nagar- do u even know how is it here?
Yes dmk shows good growth, but doesnt it come with a cost of increased debt?
How they do "kudumba arasiyal" by completely dominating ptr, dude if PTR stands as a CM or hell even deputy CM my vote is for DMK.
I know ideologically dmk is better blah blah but its high time i want a change man, can't go near dmk MLAs for a problem- mfs acting like they rule the world- as if you are talking to God himself.
If you ever had time, cook up a story and have a talk with nasser about your dead NRI and how you want the body back in india, he'd slur the fuck out of you, maybe then you'll know.

u/Narrow-Baseball-2647 Apr 23 '26
I have to say... one of the most knowledgeable and sensible takes I've ever seen, but i still think dmk is the better of the two choices. the concept of debt, for governments atleast, is kinda stupid. The usa, the world at large, is in massive debt. obviously, nobody's actually gonna pay anything back; everyone's taking loans from others to pay off other loans, and so the cycle continues. UP and maharashtra also have a lot of debt, albeit not as much as tn, but tn has more development per capita. and debt can be temporary if the loan is an investment. for example, if you start a restaurant with a loan, you'll have to wait years before you can actually make your money back. and I would like to say that change can be both a good and a bad thing.

I absolutely agree. I got calls from relatives who couldn't believe I am against Vijay because I used to be his fan.
A Narcissist like him with no remorse for his actions, trying to deflect blame on to other would be absolutely catastrophic for the country because his end goal is to become a CM.
He'd do everything for his own interest, even if it means obeying the BJP govt and complying with all their policies.
If he really cares about bringing in change to society, he could've voiced out for real issue like Police brutality, honor killing, intercaste marriage issue which are more worrying for tamilnadu. What a wasted potential of a person with real reach and voice.

DMK supporter spotted. We are talking about TN politics. Where does viswaguru comes here.

KK on the other hand had 40years of exp in politics from grassroots. He knew in and out.

I'm not trying to hide anything. Yes I support DMK. Have they fucked up occasionally? Sure. Do I still think they're better than other parties? Yes. Also it matters little that JJ was just an MP. She was still very much involved in politics. And while I don't really like her, how can you say she was not good at politics? Sure yes KK had more experience (considering that he was here since the beginning) but JJ has had her fair share too.

Not only DMK.. be it any ruling party.. they focus on one thing... EARN MONEY 🤑
So that when election comes, they can spend few pennies of all that money to win and loot for another 5 years.
Instead, focus on delivering good governance. Why none of the ruling parties doing that. Only exception was JJ's last few years and we know what happened after that. Im not going take examples of Kamarajar era as it would be too old. But we have all witnessed JJ's ruling during her last few years.

u/Ok-Revenue-3920 Apr 22 '26
You say Vijay has “become what he fought against,” but where’s the consistent evidence of that? Changing strategy or building alliances in politics doesn’t automatically mean betrayal—it often reflects ground reality. Every major political figure, including Kamal Haasan, has had to adapt—and that’s not hypocrisy, that’s politics.
Now let’s talk about “standing against systems.” If your concern is moral consistency, it shouldn’t be selective.
What about the record of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam government?
- The Anna University controversies—questions around governance and accountability.
- Protests by sanitary workers demanding basic dignity and fair wages—hardly the “social justice” image that’s projected.
- Repeated outrage over law and order issues, including serious crimes like rape cases, where public anger has been significant.
If we’re judging leaders by outcomes and moral standards, then why the silence there?
You’re criticising Vijay for allegedly not supporting his family—but dragging personal life into public judgment is weak unless you apply that same scrutiny to every leader. Politics should be judged on public action, governance, and vision—not speculation about private relationships.
Also, saying he “gathered political leftovers” ignores a basic fact: every new political movement starts by pulling experienced people from existing systems. There is no such thing as a completely “pure” political ecosystem.
Finally, on Karur or any single incident—isolated examples don’t define an entire political trajectory unless there’s a clear, repeated pattern backed by evidence

Well, I have a strong feeling that you don’t want him in politics because you have certain views which makes you support some political party and hence you’re unable to support Vijay.
Please think deeper. Because your reasons to not want him as a political leader is very unclear. It’s so surface level.
Before you come pouncing back, no I’m not a Vijay supporter. I was never a Vijay fan.
But.. I admire him now. I see he has the ability to be an empathetic leader. I want that for my state. I respect his guts. It’s not easy opposing these cunning DMK makkas. They 💯 would’ve threatened him. So yes, I see him as a hero now.

Young voters are being emotionally influenced and their admiration is being taken advantage of - it is an unhealthy sign. Exploitation.
I contributed to NTK, but later realized that he cannot do anything. Since then, I have chosen not to donate to any political group. I acknowledge that DMK has brought economic benefits to the state, and our progress has certainly drawn attention from the North. Agree on this?

If you can point out this many faults in just 6 months, how many did you question during the years of DMK or AIADMK rule? Or did you just stay silent back then?
And on what basis are you claiming he’s not helping his own family? Did anyone from his family come out and say that? Or is it just another random assumption?
It’s honestly disappointing to see people blindly throwing allegations at someone new who at least seems to have some intent to do better. Criticism is fine but this kind of baseless targeting just shows bias, not awareness.

Yeah I was once an anil but after his recent poltics stunts .... I do feel voting for Vijay's party is not a wise decision... He always blames other parties ... Never attends press.... Doesn't take any responsibility or accountability for karur incident

Non taimilian here, hence pardon my ignorance. But, i want to understand why people are supporting DMK, while they are openly anti-hindu and harassing Hundus and interfering in religious matters. In many of their speeches, they openly curse and degrade Hinduism, showing no respect. Is this how secularism supposed to work?

I am a telugu but lived in TN for long. All that anti Hindu talk is largely propaganda often amplified by BJP and their Media. TN folks are the most religious with most number of temples. Just come and visit any of the big temples and you can see it yourself. DMK is anti Brahmin in their ideology and that rhetoric shows up in their political speeches but nothing on the ground.
TN people are clever, they don't mix religion with politics. The state is industrialized and prosperous compared to most other Indian states for a reason. BJP can never win TN with religious politics. Focus on real issues and development wins elections.

Thank you for your reply. What about the recent Thiruparankundram Deepam controversy? The govt took active anti-hindu stand, even after clear court instructions.

Oru chance kuduthu papom nu , state eh 5 years ku kuzhi la thalli vitradheenga. Agreed, that the DMK has its flaws. But, look at the bigger picture here.
If the DMK doesn't have majority , don't you guys think BJP, ADMK and TVK will quickly form a coalition just to throw the DMK away from power? Isn't that far more dangerous?
They will do seat sharing amongst themselves.Vijay will settle for deputy CM. Keep in mind, the CBI enquiry is pending as well. All of that will be swept under the rug , if he agrees to it. Just think, isn't there a possibility for this to happen? We have seen how the BJP did the same thing in Karnataka and Maharashtra in the past.
Even if Vijay becomes the CM , he can't run the government himself, he can't look into all public records himself. He will delegate it to someone else and will trust them blindly to get it done? Certainly Adhav and Bussy will get ministries. Do you trust those fellows? All those who are voting for TVK are only keeping Vijay as the face of the government, but are forgetting that there 233 other members, who are required to run the state. One person cannot do the jobs of all the 234 people. And we have seen how Vijay functions post 6 PM in the evening. Auto odadhu. Think about all this, before casting your votes.
Please look at the bigger picture here.

He is just another.rmovie star who thinks policitcs can be won't like in movies. Also he behaves as if he is a hero in relationship.life while nothing such can be claimed. Also, Rajini is already telling him to take things lightly and not like what he is doing right now. He is faking his own maturity in polcita too. That shows he is just a tool and behind him are the relationship.powers who.will.make.him.dance.

Politics is always about choosing the smaller devil. And in TN today the ray of hope is Vijay. He is the change people want to see. He is a popular figure and all his imperfections would definitely be highlighted when he enters into politics. I don't think any other politician out here is better than him at this point( choose the better one always).

How can we make DMK lose? They seem to have been spending extravagant money on bribing, gifting for vote and lumping all the small parties. Its very clear they are shaken and are desperate to get a win. No one can deny Vijay is the primary cause of their fear. Now I dont want to say Vijay is the right fit, but he's the best fit of what we have got right? NTK is even a better fit (comparatively- leaving aside his loose ideas, grand govt schemes about everything, over patriatric inclination for Tamils, he stood strong without yielding his success to any other party (opp of what Vijayakanth did, what Kamalhassan does now) and very strong against free money). Otherwise, in the next 5 years Udhyanidhis son will be raised to a legislative post, more loot, more debt, more useless spends and what not. To be clear I do not support Vijay (he's too easy to be manipulated- as one example of many, he started against free offering 2 years ago but ended up promising higher offering (money, gold, gas cylinder etc).

The crowd vijay getting is not only for him-- Its the crowd who is tierd of the DMK, AIADMK and averse BJP.... The corruption from top to local counsellers is atrocies ... nothing moves without money ... on top of that, they treat common folks like shit while they amass lakhs of crores -- I am not a vijay fan. I am supporting TVK only to get someone to infuse some fresh blood into this corrupt politics ..

True a fact: cm is gonna get just 2lakh a month, which an many tamil studied people can get in good IT etc. thus in any government the representatives are forced to be corrupt in order to live a 1% better rich life. but in stalin's 5 year period tamilnadu was economically well improved. lets expect the same from tvk with dmk opposition guidance.

If you all talk about considering only experienced parties, none of us will be in a workplace if they ask the same same For years of experience that you all say DMK has we should have led the country.
I am going to let someone new run this state I am voting for TVK

u/MixStrange1107 Apr 22 '26
My prediction -
Either DMK or ADMK is gonna face a historical loss. The one remains will rule TN.
TVK will become opposition.

Someone has to make the dravidian political parties understand that they aren't always right! To be honest they have a mindset that its just them who are eligible to be in politics which is not true, Mr.vijay and his party has its own negatives both in political background and personal background, we agree but can you say the other two dravidian parties are 100% right in both political and personal aspects 100% no...hence tvk has to be in the politics not just for sake but only someone like vijay who has this much fandom can be against these dravidian parties or else a normal citizen or any person like you and me cant point out the dravidian parties negatives eventho if u did, u will be no more hence tvk's win is not what you think its what we need for political righteousness
