‘After Rajinikanth, BJP's Next Bait Is Vijay’: AIADMK On 'GOAT' Star's Political Plunge, Here's What DMK Said
Tamil Nadu BJP vice president Narayanan Thirupathy also welcomed actor Vijay's entry into politics and stated that everyone has the right to form a political party.
The formation of actor Vijay's new political party has sparked reactions from key political figures in Tamil Nadu. DMK's TKS Elangovan acknowledged everyone's right to start a party, emphasizing the constitutional allowance for such endeavors. However, he raised crucial questions about the party's objectives and its intentions. In contrast, AIADMK leader Kovai Sathyan presented a different perspective linking Vijay's political entry to BJP's strategies in the state.
On actor Vijay's newly formed party, DMK's TKS Elangovan said, "See everybody has a right (to start their party) we cannot stop anybody from starting their own political party. The constitution permits that, so we cannot say anything. The only thing is why he is starting a political party and what he is going to fight for, is a question."
"If he comes out about his policies and ideologies then we can accept it but as far as DMK is concerned we have an ideology we have worked for. We have been with this ideology since the start and we have done a lot of things as per it. We have made people get good education and good employment."

Narayanan Thirupathy said, "Everyone has the right to start a political party and enter into politics. After all, politics is to serve the public. If Vijay thinks that he can do well serving the public, he is welcome to politics...Tamil Nadu is a very politically aware state. So best of luck to him in politics."
