In a fiery and politically charged speech at the Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) national conference held in Madurai, party leader Thalapathy Vijay made an ambitious announcement: “The 2026 tamil Nadu assembly election might be between DMK and TVK.” With this announcement, Vijay has officially placed his celebration as a direct challenger to the ruling DMK, signaling a major shift in the country’s political narrative.

The national conference, attended by tens of hundreds of enthusiastic birthday party workers and supporters, marked a turning point for TVK. What began as a fan-driven motion has now transformed into an established political pressure, and Vijay’s words today have cemented the birthday celebration’s severe electoral objectives.

Speaking from a grand stage adorned with TVK flags and visuals, Vijay outlined his imaginative and prescient vision for a corruption-free, human-being-centric government. He criticized both the DMK and AIADMK for failing to supply on key promises and said the time had come for a new political culture in tamil Nadu.

“Human beings are tired of empty guarantees and power games,” Vijay said. “TVK is here to deliver actual trade. We are not getting into the race just to make noise—we are right here to win.”

The big turnout and Vijay’s assertive speech have dispatched shockwaves through the political panorama. Political analysts now agree that the 2026 elections may additionally now not be a traditional DMK vs. AIADMK struggle but rather a clean contest with TVK emerging as a key participant.

With this open assignment to the DMK, Vijay has drawn the struggle lines. As the crowd erupted in chants of “Vetri Namadhe” (Victory is ours), one factor became clear—TVK is no longer simply an emerging birthday celebration; it’s aiming to be a ruling one.
