Vijay the new leader on the political Horizon of Tamilnadu is advocating an ‘alterative politics,’ he said he had come into politics not with an aim to loot but in public interest. Since the present rulers were wearing several masks and playing divisive politics driving a wedge between people in the name of ‘minority’ and ‘majority,’ he wanted to play people’s politics and devise schemes for the people.
He was not naming anyone in particular because he was in politics not to promote hatred but to play decent politics and referred to the trolls against him and the labelling done on social media.
He said the colour of his flag was maroon and yellow and urged the trolls not to paint it in any other hue for he would not make any compromise on his principles, making a veiled reference to the allegation that he was a Hindutva plant.
Accusing the DMK of having a secret pact with the BJP and hoodwinking the people through its open declarations on principles and policies,he said he had taken the plunge into politics because he did not want to be selfish by enjoying the fruits of his labour.
Recalling his initial days in cinema, he said snide remarks were made on his looks, lack of talent, lack of screen presence and such things but he managed to overcome all criticism and become a top actor and then evolve as a responsible man.
