‘Under pressure but…’: Vijay's party says won't align with BJP for Tamil Nadu polls

In a recent statement, the party led by actor Vijay has firmly declared that it will not align with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the upcoming Tamil Nadu elections, despite facing considerable pressure. Party General Secretary addressed the media, revealing that the BJP has attempted various tactics to influence their stance, including a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry and the obstruction of Vijay's latest film, 'Jananayagan'. The party's decision underscores its commitment to maintaining independence from the BJP, which has been a contentious issue in Tamil Nadu politics. The state has historically leaned towards regional parties, and the BJP's attempts to establish a foothold have often met with resistance. This latest development highlights the ongoing political dynamics in Tamil Nadu, as Vijay’s party seeks to navigate the complex landscape ahead of the elections, prioritizing its autonomy over potential alliances. As the political environment intensifies, the party's stance may resonate with voters who favor regional identity over national party influence.
