Key Takeaways
Chennai, April 19 (NationPress) Actor and politician C. Joseph Vijay, who leads the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), has ramped up his election campaign by conducting a series of outreach initiatives in crucial constituencies, vying for seats in both Perambur in Chennai and Tiruchi East. Following an extensive door-to-door effort in the Perambur Assembly area, he is set to focus on Tiruchi East this Sunday evening. According to party insiders, he plans to leave Chennai at 2 p.m. via a private jet, reaching Tiruchi shortly after. His campaign in Tiruchi East will occur between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., encompassing several significant neighborhoods within the region.
Vijay's outreach will commence near the airport on Wireless Road, proceeding with a roadshow that includes Thendral Nagar, KK Nagar Bus Stand, Kajamalai Road, EVR College Road, Tamil Nadu Hotel junction, Kozhipannai Road, and Kottapattu. He will address the public from an open vehicle, aiming to garner support for his party's candidates ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections. After his campaign activities, he is expected to return to the Tiruchi airport by 7 p.m.
The authorities have approved the campaign but with stringent requirements to ensure adherence to election regulations. The Returning Officer has issued the necessary clearance following Vijay's team's requests to both the Election Commission and local police. However, officials have outlined several conditions to guarantee compliance with the Model Code of Conduct and to maintain public order.
Among the primary restrictions, political flags cannot be placed in a way that blocks traffic. The campaign must not breach any election code provisions. Unauthorized posters, banners, or party flags are strictly forbidden at the campaign sites. Moreover, the use of hazardous or explosive materials is completely prohibited.
Officials have emphasized that the campaign must strictly occur within the designated time frame and locations. A total of 27 conditions have been established, including directives from law enforcement and other relevant departments, which the organizers are required to follow meticulously.
As the high-energy campaigning enters its final stretch ahead of the elections, Vijay’s strategy of contesting from two constituencies is under keen observation as TVK aims to strengthen its foothold in Tamil Nadu’s political arena.
