‘Take Note, DMK’: TVK Chief Vijay Praises UT Administration, Criticizes Tamil Nadu Failures
Actor-politician fires warning shots at Dravidian giant from Puducherry stage.
Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam president Vijay thundered into Puducherry on Tuesday for his first public rally since the tragic Karur stampede, launching a blistering attack on the DMK-led Tamil Nadu government while praising the union territory’s administration as a model of impartial governance that the Dravidian major must emulate before the people teach it a lesson in the next election.
Addressing over ten thousand supporters who breached police restrictions to flood the venue, Vijay declared that Puducherry’s nearly twenty-lakh population remains cruelly excluded from Central Finance Commission devolution, forcing successive governments to borrow heavily from the open market merely to pay salaries and pensions, and asserted that only full statehood can unlock the region’s potential as a thriving industrial powerhouse.
The TVK chief sharpened his assault on administrative paralysis, highlighting that a ministerial portfolio vacated two hundred days ago following corruption allegations against its previous occupant remains undistributed, describing the delay as a deliberate insult to minority communities and symptomatic of deeper governance failures across the border in Tamil Nadu.

Vijay pointedly contrasted Puducherry Chief Minister N Rangasamy’s administration—run by a coalition partner of the NDA—with the DMK regime, commending local authorities for providing unbiased security arrangements for his rally while warning Tamil Nadu voters that the DMK’s history of betrayal spans decades and will inevitably repeat unless decisively rejected at the ballot box.
Despite police permission limited to five thousand pass-holders, TVK functionaries overrode security protocols and allowed unrestricted entry, triggering tense confrontations with Senior Superintendent of Police Isha Singh who warned of another deadly stampede, even as exhausted attendees stood for hours without seating and the venue swelled dangerously beyond capacity.
