Chennai, Dec 11 (NationPress) Actor-politician Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) is gearing up for the upcoming 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections by establishing two crucial committees aimed at directing alliance discussions and drafting the party's first election manifesto.

The pivotal decisions were made on Thursday during an essential gathering of state and district office-bearers conducted at the TVK headquarters in Panaiyur.

As per party insiders, the meeting resolved to empower Vijay with the authority to make final calls regarding alliances, seat-sharing, and other election-related strategies.

A specialized committee has been set up to initiate formal conversations with potential allies regarding seat allocation, indicating that the four-month countdown to the elections will witness TVK actively engaging in the political arena.

Another resolution confirmed that TVK will collaborate solely with parties that acknowledge Vijay as the chief-ministerial candidate for the alliance—an emphatic declaration of the party's aim to establish itself as a leading contender for power.

Although TVK has swiftly developed a statewide organizational structure, it has not yet secured alliances robust enough to confront the long-established factions led by the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance and the AIADMK-aligned group.

Sources from the meeting indicated that the leadership underscored the importance of a focused narrative and a unique ideological stance to attract voters disenchanted with conventional Dravidian politics.

The newly formed manifesto committee will commence discussions immediately, aiming to create a policy document that embodies TVK’s commitments on education, job creation, corruption-free governance, and social justice—topics that have consistently resonated in Vijay's public addresses.

In a separate political development, the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) has reached out to TVK to bolster support for its statewide rally advocating for a caste census on December 17.

PMK spokesperson K. Balu met with TVK general secretary N. Anand and high-level committee chief coordinator K.A. Sengottaiyan at the party office, formally inviting TVK to join the protest.

While PMK’s outreach is perceived as a tactical initiative to forge issue-based alliances with emerging political entities, TVK sources noted that the party will deliberate internally before making a decision, keeping in mind the sensitive pre-election dynamics across the state.

With committees now established and alliance discussions slated to intensify, TVK finds itself in a critical phase that will define its role—and relevance—in Tamil Nadu’s highly competitive 2026 electoral contest.
