CHENNAI: Hinting at a major political realignment after the Pongal festival, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) on Saturday said Tamil Nadu is set to witness a significant transformation in the coming weeks, with all key decisions, including alliance formation, to be taken solely by party president Vijay.
Speaking to reporters at the Chennai airport, TVK administrative committee chief coordinator K A Sengottaiyan said, “After Pongal, you will see what kind of change is going to unfold in Tamil Nadu.” He underlined that groundwork was already underway to ensure electoral success and that the party was moving in a clear, decisive direction.
Referring to the TVK meeting held in Erode on December 18, Sengottaiyan said the programme had national resonance. “The event was organised in a manner that made not just Tamil Nadu, but the entire country, take notice. Nearly three lakh people gathered to see our leader Vijay. It was a historic and record-setting turnout,” he said.
The former minister said senior leaders were scheduled to meet Vijay later in the day to discuss the party’s next phase of outreach. “After consulting Vijay, decisions will be taken on district-level programmes and future movements. Every action will be guided by his advice,” he added.
Stressing Vijay’s authority within the party, Sengottaiyan said, “All decisions, including alliance-related matters, will be taken by Vijay alone.” He also indicated that leaders from other political parties were likely to join TVK soon.
Sengottaiyan said internal discussions would focus on how to steer the party, its organisational structure and future strategy. Dismissing speculation and past controversies, he said TVK’s ideology and objectives were distinct. “Instead of revisiting old issues, we must speak about the future,” he added, alluding to the Karur stampede tragedy and Tiruparankundram row.
