Vijay’s TVK backs independent candidate in Salem’s Edappadi, calls for ‘fitting lesson’

Actor-turned-politician Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) will back an independent candidate in Edappadi after their nominee’s disqualification. Vijay urged voters to support K Premakumar, calling it a “fitting lesson” against alleged suppression of their symbol. This strategic shift occurs as TVK, launched in February, contests its first Assembly elections against established Dravidian parties.
