In a significant announcement, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief coordinator K A Sengottaiyan declared that the political landscape of Tamil Nadu is poised for a major transformation after the Pongal festival. Speaking to the media at Coimbatore Airport on Sunday before departing for Chennai, Sengottaiyan outlined the party's ambitious plans for expansion and its strategy for the upcoming 2026 state assembly elections.
A Turning Point on the Horizon
Sengottaiyan emphasized that a pivotal moment is approaching for the party and the state. "As far as the party is concerned, a turning point will occur after Pongal," he stated confidently. He further predicted that the entire nation, with a special focus on Tamil Nadu, would be taken aback by the scale of the impending change. The coordinator also revealed a key strategic vision, underscoring that TVK and its activities are set to achieve a global reach starting from January.
Chennai Meetings and Election Strategy
The immediate purpose of Sengottaiyan's trip to Chennai was to hold crucial discussions with the party's top leadership, including TVK president Vijay. The agenda for these meetings is weighty, focusing on planning the party's future public gatherings and, more importantly, forging alliances in preparation for the 2026 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly elections. This indicates TVK's serious intent to establish itself as a formidable force in the state's electoral politics.
Responding to Critics and Queries
During the airport interaction, Sengottaiyan fielded questions on several pressing issues. When asked about the SIR draft roll, he adhered strictly to the party line, reiterating the official statement issued by leader Vijay and declining to add any personal commentary.
He also offered a sharp retort to recent remarks made by BJP leader Tamilisai Soundararajan, who had dismissed TVK as a political party not worthy of consideration. Sengottaiyan countered this by stating that her opinion was merely a personal perspective. He placed his faith in the democratic process, asserting that the reality would be decisively proven by the election results.
Regarding the timing and location of TVK's next major public meeting, Sengottaiyan said the matter would be finalized after his consultations with party president Vijay in Chennai. The statements from the TVK coordinator signal a period of heightened political activity and recalibration in Tamil Nadu, with the party positioning itself for a significant leap forward in the new year.
