Imagine building a brand-new political party from scratch, hyping it as the fresh alternative tamil Nadu desperately needs… then immediately telling your own leaders: “Shut up until we say you can talk.” That’s exactly what just dropped from TVK. A strict circular from General Secretary Bussy anand has banned every state and district functionary from doing tv debates, YouTube interviews, or even casual media chats without explicit high-command clearance. 



No exceptions. No wiggle room. Just pure, old-school control.And the million-rupee question everyone’s whispering? Why the hell are they this scared of their own people speaking freely?




1. Their cadre can’t handle the heat – and they know it.


These aren’t seasoned politicians who’ve survived decades of scrutiny. Most TVK functionaries are fresh converts – fans, enthusiasts, maybe a few ex-party hoppers. Put them in a live debate, and suddenly the “Vijay magic” evaporates. They fumble, they contradict, they reveal zero ideological depth. One wrong sentence and the entire “people’s movement” looks like amateur hour. So the high command did what any insecure boss does: issued a muzzle order.



2. Past interviews have already been disasters.


Remember those early TVK voices who went on air full of confidence? Yeah… they became troll gold within hours. Blabbering without filters, exposing gaps in policy, sounding more like fan-club presidents than future lawmakers. TVK saw the damage. Instead of training their people or building actual substance, they chose the easier route – silence. If you can’t fix the product, at least stop the bad reviews.



3. This isn’t discipline. This is damage control on steroids.


Real parties with strong ideology and trained leaders don’t need permission slips to speak. DMK, AIADMK, and even newbies like NTK let their voices loose because they trust their message. TVK? They clearly don’t. One loose cannon could tank the entire 2026 narrative. So they’re treating their own cadres like toddlers who’ll blurt out family secrets at the dinner table. 



4. The “people’s party” irony is screaming.


They market themselves as anti-establishment, pro-people, anti-dynasty. Yet here they are running the most top-down, control-freak operation imaginable. High command approval for every single interview? That’s not revolutionary leadership – that’s fear dressed up as “strategy.” If your own leaders can’t be trusted to represent you publicly, maybe the problem isn’t the media… It’s the party.



5. 2026 is going to be brutal – and they’re already panicking.


Elections are still months away, and TVK is already building walls around its own mouthpieces. What happens when real scrutiny hits? When opponents start asking actual questions about vision, funding, and alliances? This circular isn’t strong. It’s the loudest admission yet that they’re nowhere near ready for prime time.



Look, political parties have every right to coordinate their messaging. But when coordination turns into a full gag order on your own ranks, it stops looking like smart strategy and starts smelling like insecurity.TVK wanted to be the new storm in tamil Nadu politics.



Right now? They’re just proving they can’t even handle a light breeze without tying their own tongues.



What do you think they’re really afraid their own people will say?
Drop it in the comments – because clearly, TVK doesn’t want them saying it on camera.
