Tamil Nadu health Minister Ma. Subramanian has taken a direct swipe at actor-turned-politician Vijay, questioning the authenticity of his campaign speeches and political statements.
1. The Stinging Remark
Speaking at a public event, Ma. Subramanian said:
“Vijay is not speaking from his heart. He is simply reading what someone else has written for him.”
The statement was seen as a direct attempt to undermine Vijay’s political credibility.
2. Questioning Vijay’s Political Depth
According to Subramanian, Vijay’s speeches lack originality and spontaneity. By suggesting that the actor is only reading pre-prepared notes, he implied that Vijay may not have a clear understanding of the issues he is addressing.
3. Targeting TVK’s Popularity
Political analysts say this criticism is aimed at curbing the fast-growing popularity of Vijay’s party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), especially among the youth and first-time voters.
4. social media Fireworks
Vijay’s supporters quickly came to his defense, flooding social media with posts and memes saying that every politician uses written speeches, and that Vijay’s delivery still carries power and conviction.
5. A Familiar Strategy
Observers note that this is a common tactic in politics — to portray a rising leader as inexperienced or dependent on advisors. Similar criticisms were faced by other actor-politicians in their early careers, including mgr and Jayalalithaa.
6. Will Vijay Respond?
So far, Vijay has remained calm and has not reacted to Subramanian’s remarks. His past approach suggests he may indirectly address the criticism during his next campaign meeting — possibly with a clever punchline that rallies his supporters.
7. Bigger Political Implication
This war of words highlights how seriously DMK is now taking Vijay’s political entry. The more DMK leaders respond to Vijay, the more it fuels curiosity and media attention around his campaign.
