AIADMK Urges Vijay to Join Alliance to Defeat DMK
AIADMK party leaders are urging actor Vijay, the leader of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), to join their alliance to defeat the ruling DMK party in the upcoming elections.
They believe that Vijay cannot win alone and that going solo might inadvertently help the DMK.
AIADMK leaders point out that while Vijay's rallies attract large crowds, those crowds don't necessarily translate into votes.
They suggest that Vijay should align with them to achieve his goal of removing the DMK from power.
The BJP also expressed interest in an alliance with Vijay's party.
Vijay, however, has been clear on not aligning with either party, which includes the DMK and the AIADMK.
AIADMK urges actor Vijay to join their alliance before next year's Assembly election.
AIADMK leaders believe Vijay needs an alliance to defeat the ruling DMK.
