‘Fighting like KG students’: Actor Vijay on DMK-Centre clash over 3 language policy row | Chennai News – The Times of India

NEW DELHI: Actor Vijay‘s party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), reacting to the recent controversy over the three-language policy, likened the ongoing tussle between the state and the Centre to a dispute among kindergarten students.
“Funds to education have been stopped for the state government. This is like LKG – UKG students fight. Their responsibility is to give, state responsibility is to get that is our rights. Amid these big problems, two (BJP and DMK) are playing with Hastag,” Vijay said.
TVK completed its one-year anniversary on Wednesday.
Jan Suraj chief Prashant Kishor attended the celebration. Kishor is an advisor to Vijay who is aiming to displace the two Dravidian Parties in the next assembly polls.
Speaking on the occasion, Vijay said that the TVK was emerging as a political force. “We are emerging as the primary political force in Tamil Nadu politics with a firm commitment to creating history in 2026 like 1967 and 1977 without compromising ideological principles at any cost.”
Addressing the public at the event in Chennai, Vijay said that there are no permanent friends or enemies in politics.
“This is politics at a different level because we don’t know when someone will support, someone will oppose. We can’t predict that, and that’s why it has been said there is no permanent friend or enemy,” Vijay said.
Vijay, speaking on the recent controversy on three language policy, said that the state and the centre are fighting like Kindergarten students fight.
Earlier, Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin convened a cabinet meeting at the secretariat on Tuesday and announced the decision to hold an all-party meeting on March 5 to discuss the issue of constituency delimitation.
He highlighted the state could lose eight MPs in the process. Stalin confirmed that invitations for the all-party meeting would be sent to the 40 political parties registered with the Election Commission of India (ECI) in Tamil Nadu.
He asserted that Tamil Nadu, currently having 39 MPs, would be adversely affected by the constituency realignment, which would likely reduce the state’s representation. Stalin expressed that the state was now compelled to stage protests to protect its rights.
