Leaving without visiting hospital, possibility of arrest and cases: Karur stampede deaths becomes biggest detriment to Vijay's political aspirations

CHENNAI: The major accident that occurred in Karur during Vijay's election campaign may be a setback for the superstar's political aspirations. There was an earlier complaint that Vijay had gone on the political rally in violation of police guidelines. The police will file a case against Vijay regarding the incident. There is also a possibility of arrest.

It is certain that the DMK and AIADMK will use the incident as a political weapon against Vijay in the coming days. The accident started while Vijay was speaking in Karur at night. The police arrived after getting information, but the large crowd obstructed them. Vijay was still speaking on top of the specially prepared vehicle at that time. Vijay was criticizing the police at that time. “The current government will change after six months and the police should remember that a new party will come to power,” Vijay said. By then, a leader reached the stage and informed Vijay that a girl named Aamika was missing. After announcing this through a microphone, Vijay got down and left the site. There is anger against Vijay for not leading the rescue operation or going to the hospital despite knowing that a major tragedy had taken place.

Vijay's speech was full of sharp criticism of the DMK government, as usual. Vijay also criticized the alliance of the AIADMK and the BJP parties, as the Konku area is a stronghold of both. People were waiting since 11 am. TVK leaders say that they had instructed not to bring children. Some DMK leaders who reached the hospital said that Vijay cannot escape responsibility.
