In politics, tragedy separates the leaders from the pretenders. When disaster struck in Karur and 39 lives were lost at actor-turned-politician Vijay’s rally, the world expected responsibility, compassion, and at the very least, presence. Instead, they got the exact opposite: a star who fled, a silence that screamed, and a party that vanished.
Journalist Mukthar once remarked that Vijay seemed to care more about Trisha’s pet dog than about his own fans. Yesterday, that biting remark turned prophetic. Fans lay lifeless, families wailed, hospitals overflowed — but Vijay ran to chennai in his chartered jet, wrapped in Range Rover comfort, too insulated to face the grief he caused.
And it wasn’t just Vijay. His close aides — Bussy anand and Aadhav Arjunaa — also skipped hospitals, skipped families, and skipped accountability. Together, they showcased the ugliest side of stardom-turned-politics: fans are dispensable, optics are everything.
1) The Journalist’s Warning Came True
Mukthar’s infamous line — “Vijay cares more about Trisha’s dog than his own fans” — now rings like prophecy. A man who claims to love the masses couldn’t even walk into a hospital for five minutes.
2) Ran Before the Blood Dried
While bodies were still being lifted, Vijay fled Karur. No condolence, no apology, not even the symbolic act of standing with grieving families.
3) Relief? Not a Single Rupee
Even the most arrogant leaders announce compensation in times of crisis. Vijay announced nothing. No financial aid, no party support, no acknowledgment that lives were lost for him.
4) Bussy Anand: Missing in Action
As TVK General Secretary, Bussy anand should have been coordinating relief, visiting hospitals, or meeting families. Instead, he disappeared — proving loyalty to the leader’s image, not to the people.
5) Aadhav Arjunaa: The Silent Strategist
Another supposed “pillar” of TVK, Aadhav Arjunaa, also chose absence over accountability. When lives were on the line, he decided optics mattered more than empathy.
6) The Cruel Silence
Not even a single heartfelt word from Vijay, anand, or Arjunaa. Just scripted tweets, toolkit hashtags, and PR spin. Humanity was absent.
Closing Blast
The Karur massacre was not just a tragedy of lives lost. It was a tragedy of leadership exposed. Vijay had the chance to rise above stardom and prove himself a statesman. Instead, he proved Mukthar right — his fans’ lives mean less to him than a celebrity’s pet.
And the silence of Bussy anand and Aadhav Arjunaa cements one truth: this is not a party built on love for people, but on love for power and image.
👉 The question tamil Nadu must now ask is brutal yet simple: If this is how Vijay treats the dead who worshipped him, what will he do to the living if he ever holds real power?
