Chennai, March 30 (NationPress) The renowned actor and politician Vijay officially submitted his nomination papers for the Perambur Assembly constituency on Monday, marking a pivotal moment in his political career as the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections approach.
Vijay, who is the president of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), filed his nomination before the Returning Officer at Dr. Ambedkar Government Arts College situated in Vyasarpadi. Accompanying him were senior leaders of his party, including General Secretary N. Anand and Joint General Secretary C.T.R. Nirmal Kumar.
The event attracted a substantial crowd of supporters, with thousands of TVK members, Vijay's fans, and local residents gathering along the primary routes leading to Vyasarpadi and outside the college hours before his arrival.
This enthusiastic turnout underscored the increasing political momentum for the party, which is making its debut in the electoral arena of Tamil Nadu.
As Vijay’s campaign vehicle navigated the area, the crowds surged forward, eager to catch a glimpse of the beloved actor-turned-politician.
This situation resulted in significant traffic delays in various parts of Vyasarpadi, necessitating a large police presence to manage the growing crowds and maintain security.
At one point, traffic came to a temporary halt near a signal junction as some motorists stopped their vehicles to take selfies while Vijay’s convoy paused briefly.
Although this disruption was momentary, it did cause minor congestion in the vicinity until normal traffic was restored.
Party insiders characterized the nomination day as a demonstration of strength, showcasing the grassroots enthusiasm surrounding Vijay’s foray into electoral politics.
With Perambur being one of the focal points in Chennai, Vijay’s candidacy is poised to introduce a new dynamic to the electoral contest.
The TVK, under Vijay's leadership, is contesting the Assembly elections with a comprehensive list of candidates, positioning itself as a viable alternative to the established Dravidian parties. In the upcoming weeks, intensified campaigning is anticipated as all parties prepare for a high-stakes electoral showdown across Tamil Nadu.
