Just days after the Karur stampede sent shockwaves across tamil Nadu, actor-turned-politician Vijay is back on stage at another massive rally in Erode—as if nothing happened. No pause. No public reflection. No visible corrective action.
For someone trying to position himself as a future leader, this reckless repetition raises a brutal question: Has Vijay learned anything at all? Or are ordinary people—his fans, supporters, daily-wage workers—simply expendable extras in his political cinema?
1️⃣ NO BASIC AMENITIES, ONLY BIG SPEECHES
No chairs.
No drinking water.
No shade.
Thousands are herded into enclosed spaces from early morning, forced to wait for hours under the sun. Meanwhile, Vijay arrives comfortably in the afternoon, delivers a speech, waves, and leaves.
This is not leadership. This is gross negligence disguised as mass politics.
2️⃣ FANS WAIT LIKE CAPTIVES, NOT SUPPORTERS
people enter rally venues at dawn and are locked into overcrowded enclosures with no exit flexibility, no crowd control discipline, and no emergency preparedness.
The message is loud and cruel:
“You wait. You suffer. I’ll show up when it suits me.”
Is this how a man who claims to care about the common citizen behaves?
3️⃣ KARUR WAS NOT AN accident — IT WAS A WARNING
Stampedes don’t happen randomly.
They happen when crowd management fails, when human safety is treated as secondary, and when ego outweighs responsibility.
Karur should have been a full stop.
Instead, Vijay has turned it into a comma.
That’s not confidence. That’s dangerous arrogance.
4️⃣ cinema WORSHIP HAS BLINDED COMMON SENSE
The harsh truth many don’t want to hear:
You already watched him on the big screen.
You already celebrate him through films.
So why risk your life, health, and dignity for a few seconds of seeing him from a distance—while standing hungry, thirsty, and crushed in a crowd?
A movie hero is not worth becoming a news headline casualty.
5️⃣ WHERE IS THE ACCOUNTABILITY? WHERE IS THE APOLOGY?
After Karur, did we see:
A clear apology?
A pause in rallies?
A transparent safety overhaul?
No.
Instead, another rally. Another crowd. Another gamble with lives.
Leadership is not about how loud the applause is—it’s about how safely people return home.
6️⃣ REAL people PAY THE PRICE, NOT THE STAR
If something goes wrong:
Vijay will be protected.
His convoy will move.
His security will clear the path.
But what about the people who came trusting him?
Their parents, spouses, and children wait at home, hoping they return alive.
That emotional cost is never shown on stage.
⚠️ FINAL WORD: THIS IS NOT POLITICS, THIS IS PLAYING WITH FIRE
tamil Nadu has seen enough tragedies born out of poor planning and celebrity ego.
If Vijay truly wants to be a leader and not just a crowd magnet, he must understand one basic truth:
👉 People are not foot soldiers in your political launch.
👉 Fans are not expendable.
👉 Another Karur must never happen.
Until then, every rally without reform is not courage—it’s a countdown.
