TVK's Vijay slams BJP over one nation one election, accuses DMK of cheating public

The political contest in Tamil Nadu is intensifying ahead of the assembly polls, with TVK chief Vijay launching a statewide campaign. In a rally, the actor-turned-politician criticized both the BJP and the ruling DMK. He accused the BJP of "betraying India by using tactics like SIR and delimitation to crush the opposition and for pushing one nation, one election to reduce power of states." Vijay also alleged the DMK government, led by CM Stalin, has cheated the public by not fulfilling many of its 505 poll promises, such as gas subsidies and fuel price reductions. The DMK has responded, asserting that the legacy of Anna and Periyar remains strong and that nothing can damage their established vote base.
