NAMAKKAL: Ahead of actor-politician Vijay's campaign in Namakkal and Karur on Saturday, the Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) has made elaborate arrangements, expecting a massive public gathering.

Arterial roads are already decked with banners and party flags, and to serve the crowds that gather early to catch a glimpse of their leader, the TVK district wing is arranging free distribution of over 10,000 water bottles, starting Saturday morning.

A party functionary said bottles bearing Vijay's image will be supplied in all areas he is scheduled to visit.

"It is a festival mood here... We are celebrating this occasion like a festival," he said.

Meanwhile, police personnel have implemented traffic regulations and other measures to ensure public safety and prevent any untoward incidents during the campaign.

During his political tour of Nagapattinam and Tiruvarur districts, Vijay had targeted DMK President and Chief Minister M K Stalin over his foreign trips, fishermen and farmers' issues and by alleging "family dominance."

The chief of the fledgling TVK had asserted in Tiruvarur that his party's goal is to ensure that there is no "family dominance" in Tamil Nadu, hitting out at CM Stalin and blamed him for blocking the state's progress
