Chennai, Jan 29 (NationPress) Actor-turned-politician Vijay is preparing to officially launch the campaign for the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections on behalf of his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), with an extensive agenda of large-scale political events set to commence in February.

According to party insiders, the kickoff of the campaign will include a grand state-level conference, complemented by three significant public gatherings across various regions of Tamil Nadu, all of which will feature addresses by Vijay.

As per informed sources, the party has devised a backup strategy. Should the grand conference face challenges due to logistical or strategic issues, TVK will alternatively organize five large public meetings in five different areas of the state.

Vijay is expected to personally attend and speak at all these events, emphasizing his pivotal role in energizing the party's base and connecting with voters. The framework for the campaign was reportedly solidified during a recent discussion involving TVK’s chief coordinator, K.A. Sengottaiyan, and members of the party’s election committee. The talks concentrated on mobilization strategies, messaging, and the ground-level difficulties the party faces as it broadens its organizational reach.

During this meeting, various district secretaries highlighted the challenges they encounter in obtaining official permissions for even modest gatherings and for the distribution of pamphlets.

Sources indicated that Sengottaiyan encouraged them to address these issues with senior district officials and, if necessary, elevate the matter to state-level party leaders to ensure it garners political attention.

The party leadership, as per sources, is determined to prevent organizational obstacles from hindering their outreach efforts leading up to the elections. In conjunction with the campaign launch, TVK plans to celebrate its second anniversary with an official event at the party’s office in Panaiyur, Chennai.

Vijay is anticipated to attend this event and engage with party members, a strategic move aimed at solidifying the party's base ahead of the election year.

In the meantime, TVK's Deputy General Secretary, C.T. Nirmal Kumar, criticized the AIADMK, asserting that the genuine political rivalry in the state exists between DMK and TVK. He remarked, “The AIADMK, which is expected to challenge the DMK, is instead unjustly targeting us. We are unconcerned about those not actively participating.” With these upcoming events, TVK is clearly gearing up to transition into full campaign mode, positioning itself as a significant contender in Tamil Nadu’s political arena leading into 2026.
