In a dramatic display of disillusionment, a former administrator of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), the political party founded by actor-turned-politician Vijay, was captured on video tearing apart the party's flag and membership card in Tiruvannamalai. The incident, reported by Polimer news on Thursday, june 26, 2025, has sparked discussions about internal dissent within the relatively new political outfit.

The video, which has since gone viral, shows the individual, dressed in a checkered shirt, forcefully ripping the TVK flag and an image of Vijay, along with his membership card, while seated on the hood of a car. The act of defiance is accompanied by a passionate outburst, where he criticizes the party and its leadership, questioning the authenticity of his 13 years of dedication. "I've worked honestly for 13 years, and this is how you treat me? I don't need a party like this. Don't be fooled by a film actor," he is heard saying in tamil, expressing his frustration and sense of betrayal.

he individual’s actions are seen as a direct repudiation of the party’s values and leadership, particularly targeting Vijay, who is referred to as a "film actor" rather than a political figure, suggesting a disconnect between the party’s cinematic appeal and grassroots realities.

This incident comes at a time when TVK is still in the process of establishing itself as a formidable political force in tamil Nadu, having been founded in february 2024. The party has been focusing on expanding its organizational structure and preparing for the 2026 state elections. However, such public displays of dissent could undermine its efforts to consolidate support and maintain party discipline.

Political analysts suggest that this could be indicative of broader challenges faced by celebrity-led parties, where initial enthusiasm may wane as members encounter the practicalities of political work. The individual’s reference to his long-term commitment hints at unfulfilled expectations or perceived injustices within the party hierarchy, which might resonate with other members or supporters.
