CHENNAI: Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) president and actor Vijay on Wednesday announced that the party's much-anticipated second state conference will be held in Madurai on August 25, marking a significant political milestone ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections.
The conference comes nearly 10 months after TVK successfully held its maiden state conference in Vikravandi, which served as the party's formal debut into Tamil Nadu's political landscape.
"Greetings to the people of Tamil Nadu and my beloved comrades. I am pleased to announce that the second state conference of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam — the emerging force in Tamil Nadu politics—will be held in Madurai on Monday, August 25, 2025. Let the victory repeat itself. Success is inevitable. Thank you," Vijay said in a social media post.
The party's general secretary, N Anand, along with other senior leaders, oversaw the Bhoomi Pooja ceremony on Wednesday morning at the proposed conference site located along the Madurai–Thoothukudi National Highway.
"This date is symbolic. August 25 marks the 26th wedding anniversary of our Thalapathy Vijay. He married Sangeetha Sornalingam on the same day in 1999. Choosing this date for the conference is a tribute to both his personal and political journey,” a senior TVK leader told DT Next.
Party insiders revealed that Vijay is expected to commence his state-wide tour following the conference, positioning the event as a formal launchpad for the 2026 Assembly poll campaign.
"Madurai has long been a political powerhouse since the MGR era. For Vijay, too, it carries an auspicious legacy," another leader added.
