The end of Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay’s speech in the Tamil Nadu Assembly was as famous as his entire address. Before ending the speech, Vijay sought permission from the Speaker and then made a hand gesture in a special filmy style. Seeing this scene, the MLAs present in the House started clapping and its video immediately went viral on social media.

Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay’s speech in the Tamil Nadu Assembly on Tuesday was not limited to just political rhetoric. During the speech, when Vijay targeted the alleged corruption of the DMK government, a huge uproar started in the House. DMK MLAs protested and later staged a walkout.

But the most talked about moment of the entire incident was when after finishing the speech, Vijay took permission from the speaker and in his old filmy style made a special cinematic gesture. The members present in the House were stunned for a few moments, while this scene immediately became a topic of discussion on social media.

Many people compared this gesture of Vijay to that of Chief Minister M.K. He did it with the famous hand gesture of Stalin, the video of which went viral this year. Stalin had given the signal by raising his hand while leaving the DMK headquarters after seat sharing talks with Congress. This was seen on social media as a message of “it’s all settled” or “the matter is closed”.

However, Stalin later clarified that this was a completely instinctive reaction. He had told that the journalists were continuously asking whether the conversation was over or not, in response to which he gestured with his hand and said, ‘It is done, it is over.’ Despite this, that gesture remained a topic of discussion for a long time. Now Vijay’s new gesture has revived the same debate.

DMK remained on the target of Vijay

Vijay made it clear in his address that his party is not a political force based only on the popularity of a film star. He said, ‘Most people first form a political party and then go to the public. We first went to the public and then formed the party. Those who did not understand this, kept dismissing us as just an actor’s party.

The Chief Minister reminded that his party had fought the 2026 assembly elections without any alliance. He said, ‘We contested the 2026 elections alone. The public understood us clearly and we got 35 percent votes. We received 1.72 crore votes and emerged as a major independent political force. This is the reason why today we are sitting in the government.

While clarifying his political philosophy, Vijay mentioned Periyar E.V., considered the father of the Dravidian movement. Ramasamy was also mentioned. He said, ‘Periyar’s rejection of religious faith is not something that we have accepted, but we have fully accepted his broad principles.’

Vijay further said that his party has adopted Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar’s ideas of equal opportunity and social justice, while making Kamaraj’s honest governance model the cornerstone of its politics.

Attacking DMK, the Chief Minister said that his government is the government of the common people. He said, ‘Just like during Anna’s time there was a government of common people and during MGR’s time there was a government of very common people, similarly this government led by Vijay is a government of the most common people.’

S Keerthana: At present, 29 year old youth leader S Keerthana is being talked about the most in Tamil Nadu politics. By winning the Sivakasi seat from actor-turned-politician Vijay’s party Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK), he has not only created history but has also created a identity as the youngest minister in the new government. S Keertana has been continuously in the headlines for expressing her views openly in Hindi and thinking at the national level.

Became MLA after contesting elections for the first time

TVK contested assembly elections for the first time and made a big political demonstration. In this election, S Keertana won from Sivakasi seat. With this victory, she became the first woman MLA of Sivakasi and broke the politics of male dominance that had been going on for almost 70 years.

Role of advisor before entering politics

S Keerthana had worked as a political consultant before entering politics. He has worked with many big leaders, including MK Stalin. Apart from this, she has also achieved higher education and has knowledge of different languages.

became a topic of discussion by speaking hindi

There has been a political debate on Hindi in Tamil Nadu for a long time, but S Keertana has taken a different stance from this notion. After winning the election, she spoke in Hindi and said that she wants the thinking of her party and leader Vijay to reach the whole of India. He believes that language is not a wall but a medium to connect. This is the reason why his conversations in Hindi made him popular on social media also.

“One should not be afraid of politics”

S Keertana says that there is no need to be afraid of politics, rather every person should participate in it. His aim is that the young generation should come forward in politics and play a role in deciding the direction of the country. She wants that the TVK party should not be limited to Tamil Nadu only, but should make its mark at the national and international level.

From humble background to the top of politics

S Keerthana has studied from a Tamil medium government school. Later he did post graduation and learned many languages. Her political journey has been very fast and at an early age she has emerged as a big face of the party.

In August 2009, a question was much discussed in Tamil cinema and politics whether actor Vijay was going to join the Congress Party. At that time, after a meeting of Vijay Makkal Iyakkam in Puducherry, discussions regarding his political future had intensified. The very next day, Vijay reached Delhi and met the then Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi. It was told that this meeting lasted for about an hour. At that time, such reports also came out that Rahul Gandhi had proposed Vijay to become the President of Tamil Nadu Youth Congress.

After this meeting there was a stir in the politics of Tamil Nadu. However, Vijay soon put an end to all these speculations. He clearly said in a press conference that at present he is concentrating only on films. Vijay said, “The meeting with Rahul Gandhi was just a courtesy call. I did not discuss anything about politics or joining any party. Right now I have no plans to join politics. My first priority is acting.

Vijay kept distance from politics

Vijay kept his distance from politics for many years, but social and political issues continued to appear in his films. In films like Thalaivaa, Mersal, Sarkar and Master, he gave messages related to corruption, education, politics and social problems. Due to this, discussions continued regarding his political future. Finally, on 2 February 2024, Vijay made his official entry into politics by starting his political party “Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam” i.e. TVK. He also announced that he would gradually distance himself from films and concentrate completely on politics. Vijay told that his film Jan Nayakgan will be the last film of his film career.

How many seats did Vijay’s party TVK win?

Jana Nayakgan is a political action drama film directed by H Vinoth. Along with Vijay, Pooja Hegde and Bobby Deol will also be seen in this film. The name of the film means leader of the people. Because of this, people started drawing parallels between the film and Vijay’s real political journey. A mixture of politics, society and action is shown in the film. Earlier this film was scheduled to be released on 9 January 2026 on the occasion of Pongal, but later its release was postponed. According to reports, due to the political content of the film and Vijay’s increasing political activism before the assembly elections, the Censor Board’s investigation took a long time, which led to the delay. After this, Tamil Nadu Assembly elections were held on 4 May 2026 and the results brought a big change in the politics of the state. Vijay’s party TVK emerged as the largest party by winning 108 seats. With this, the 59 years old dominance of Dravidian parties in Tamil Nadu ended.

Where did Vijay contest elections from?

Vijay himself contested the elections from Perambur and Tiruchirappalli East seats and won both the places. However, his party fell 10 seats short of the 118 seats required for majority. Due to this, a situation of hung assembly was created in the state. After the election defeat, Chief Minister MK Stalin resigned on May 5. After this, Vijay has become the 9th and first non-Dravidian Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.

During this period, Vijay’s style remained different and a topic of discussion.

While taking oath as Chief Minister in Tamil Nadu, leaders usually wear traditional white vesti and shirt, whereas Vijay deviated from this tradition and chose a modern formal look. He took oath wearing a white shirt, black pants and formal shoes. His style looked exactly like a film hero and attracted people’s attention. Political experts believe that this look of Vijay could be an attempt to connect with the youth and give a message of change. Vijay tried to show through his attire that his government would work with modern thinking and in a new way.

Many obstacles but still the boat crossed

There were many obstacles in Vijay becoming the Chief Minister. Despite the huge majority, Vijay was not able to form the government. After this, on 9 May 2026, Vijay met the Governor of Tamil Nadu at Lok Bhavan and gave him a letter sharing the information about his election as the leader of TVK, after which the Tamil Nadu Governor appointed Vijay as the Chief Minister and invited him to form the government.

DMK Congress Rift: A major political development has come to light in the politics of Tamil Nadu, where the long standing alliance between Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and Congress now appears to be on the verge of breaking. Congress has said that it will support Vijay’s Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) in forming the government. There are continuous heated exchanges between the leaders of both the parties, due to which the turmoil in the political circles has intensified.

Congress MP Manickam Tagore, reacting to DMK’s allegations, said that not only DMK had lost the elections, but Congress had also suffered losses. He said that DMK has been in power many times, so it would not be right to say that they suffered losses only because of Congress.

Congress MP Manikam Tagore replied

Manickam Tagore said that the language being used by DMK spokespersons is unfortunate. He reminded that even after the defeat in 2011, Congress had supported DMK, but in the same year DMK decided to contest the local body elections separately. After this, in 2013, DMK was also out of the UPA government.

‘After all, who betrayed whom?’

Manickam Tagore raised the question and said that if betrayal is being talked about then who betrayed whom. He said that in the year 2016, everyone had realized that DMK cannot win the elections without Congress. For this reason, an alliance was formed again between the two parties and success was achieved on about 95 seats. He said that Congress has made a lot of political sacrifices to maintain friendship. Congress has also lost its seats, so DMK spokespersons should control their language.

DMK’s secular image was mentioned

Manickam Tagore said that there are two major secular political forces in Tamil Nadu and Congress has always respected the secular image of DMK. He appealed to DMK leaders to give statements responsibly.

T.R. Balu made serious allegations against Congress

Whereas senior DMK leader and party treasurer T.R. Earlier, Balu had made a scathing attack on Congress. He said that the recent attitude of Congress has exposed its real political thinking. Balu alleged that DMK always supported Congress in times of crisis and for this it also suffered political losses many times.

T.R. Baalu ​​said that DMK always maintained strong relations with Sonia Gandhi and late former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. He also mentioned the party’s emotional relationship with Rahul Gandhi. Baalu ​​said that Rahul Gandhi often talks to Chief Minister M.K. He called Stalin his brother. He said that when the news came in the media that Congress was talking about ending these old relationships, he was not much surprised by it.

Mention of Stalin’s support in 2019 elections

T.R. Baalu ​​said that while Congress itself was hesitant in making Rahul Gandhi the prime ministerial face, DMK chief M.K. Stalin had first supported the name of Rahul Gandhi from Chennai. He said that due to the support of DMK, the alliance got a big victory in two elections and a large number of MPs from Tamil Nadu reached Parliament.

‘Time will answer for betrayal’

At the end of his statement T.R. Balu said that defeat and betrayal are not new things for DMK. He said that the public is watching everything and will definitely respond to such political betrayal when the time comes.
