Throwing shade, AIADMK Normal Secretary Edappadi Okay Palaniswami on Tuesday declared that Chief Minister Vijay might even go on to turn out to be the President of the USA. The assertion comes amid growing “Vijay for Prime Minister” chorus inside Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, or TVK.
“He might even turn out to be the President of US. He can change Trump. It isn’t unsuitable. There may be nothing unsuitable with it, it’s his want. He can turn out to be India’s President of Prime Minister,” the previous Chief Minister mentioned, deploying heavy sarcasm.
Dismissing the state authorities’s reliance on social media optics, EPS mentioned,”They’re working the federal government by placing out ‘reels’ right here; that will not work there.”

Shifting focus to the state’s administrative equipment, Palaniswami alleged a whole breakdown in governance.
“Inside 110 days, the legislation and order state of affairs has fully collapsed. Wherever you look, murders, robberies, and clashes are growing,” Palaniswami mentioned.

The TVK’s ‘Vijay For PM’ Pitch
TVK leaders Aadhav Arjuna and Sarathkumar have overtly pitched Vijay for the highest put up, whereas posters backing “Vijay for PM” have now surfaced in Tuticorin, triggering unease amongst its allies.
Congress MP Karti Chidambaram had earlier described the pitch as a “fan membership mindset”.
It stays unclear whether or not the “Vijay for PM” marketing campaign is aimed on the 2029 Lok Sabha elections – probably placing him up towards Rahul Gandhi’s Prime Ministerial ambitions – or is meant for a later nationwide election.
Vijay himself has remained silent on the difficulty thus far.
The political stakes are significantly excessive for the Vijay authorities, which has solely a slim majority. TVK has 107 MLAs, falling 11 wanting the 118 required for a easy majority within the 234-member Tamil Nadu Meeting.
TVK’s alliance companion and MDMK chief Vaiko mentioned he believes there was no such thought even in Vijay’s thoughts or creativeness, cautioning that ministers mustn’t publicly articulate positions that might complicate an alliance.
