'Politics has to change, otherwise it will be changed, will contest all seats in 2026 elections'; crowd erupts on actor-politician Vijay's speech

VILLUPURAM: "Others say I am a child in politics, but if I decide to take it in my hands, be it a snake or politics, I will do it very carefully," said actor Vijay. He was speaking at the first session of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam. "Periyar, Kamaraj, Ambedkar, Anjalai Ammal and Velu Nachiyar are my guiding light," Vijay said.

"There's no me and you on and off the stage, only 'we' exist. We're all equal. Therefore, Greetings to my dear friends who reside in my heart. Many people say that politics creates anger. There's no point in being angry. Not only science, but politics must also evolve. What doesn't change here are money, labour, human birth, and work. I came into politics only after understanding about the present times. I'm not saying anything about the history of the world. I don't want to waste time talking about the politicians here. However, I'll react when I have to react. Now we have to think about what the problem is and how to solve it. If you tell it to people, they will understand. Politics has to change, otherwise it will be changed. No one's faith will be opposed. I am not for compromise politics. We have to act and not just speak. Will contest all seats in 2026 elections," Vijay said.
