You’ve seen the headlines. You’ve heard the death toll. But nothing cuts through the noise like the testimony of a man who stood at ground zero. Pari Karthik, senior journalist with news Tamil, was there in Karur when chaos erupted at actor-politician Vijay’s roadshow. And what he witnessed was not an accident, not fate, not misfortune — but a carefully staged disaster born of arrogance, recklessness, and negligence.
His chilling account lays the blame squarely at Vijay’s feet. No barricades. No crowd control. No emergency management. Only vanity, hunger for applause, and absolute disregard for human life.
Here’s the unfiltered, brutal breakdown of why this bloodbath belongs entirely to Vijay.
1) The Barricade Betrayal
At any political rally, the stage or bus is kept behind barricades to protect both the leader and the crowd. But not in Karur. TVK wanted massive visuals, so they let Vijay’s bus drive right into the crowd. The “optics” killed people.
2) The Console Room Crush
Thousands waited for hours in scorching heat. When Vijay finally rolled in, crowds surged toward the console room. In the stampede, people fainted, collapsed, and were trampled — while Vijay continued speaking into the mic as though nothing was happening.
3) The Tarpaulin Trap
TVK organizers fenced the stage area with flimsy tarpaulin sheets. When pressure mounted, desperate fans ripped through them, triggering more falls and suffocation. A death trap disguised as decoration.
4) The Deadly Balcony Stunt
Fans perched on top of makeshift structures for a better view. They slipped, fell into the crowd, and set off chain reactions of crushing chaos. Still, Vijay’s speech droned on. Leadership? Zero.
5) The Ambulance Attack
When ambulances arrived, instead of helping, TVK cadres shockingly smashed and blocked them. police had to intervene to rescue the fainting and injured. Lives were lost not just to negligence but to active obstruction.
6) The Cold-Blooded Speech
Even as bodies dropped, even as chaos spiraled, Vijay kept clutching the mic, delivering lines while his fans screamed and collapsed. A star obsessed with optics, blind to death at his feet.
Closing Blast
Pari Karthik’s testimony demolishes the “tragic accident” excuse. This wasn’t fate. This was a manufactured disaster — scripted by Vijay’s ego, executed by reckless TVK organizers, and paid for by innocent blood.
While leaders across party lines rushed to Karur to console families and announce relief, Vijay vanished into the safety of Chennai. His silence is damning. His cowardice is undeniable.
Karur is no longer just a tragedy. It’s the proof that Vijay’s politics is not only immature — it’s deadly.
