This is not just normal thank-you visit ah,there is by-election pressure sitting behind it also.
Vijay's party,Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK),came out as single largest party in Tamil Nadu after recent Assembly elections . And because Vijay won from both Perambur and Tiruchy East,he had to make choice after victory .
He finally decided to retain Perambur and resign from Tiruchy East . That one decision has now opened door for by-election in Tiruchy East,and his Monday visit looks clearly linked to keeping support strong there.
Sources say Chief Minister will travel from Chennai to Tiruchy by private aircraft . He is also expected to meet public at college ground,which means this is not some quiet political formality . This is proper message to voters and party workers.
Few things standing out clearly here:
- Vijay won Tiruchy East with 91,381 votes,defeating DMK candidate Inigo Irudayaraj by 24,416 votes .
- His visit aims to energize Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) supporters before bypoll.
- Tamil Nadu may soon see by-elections in five Assembly constituencies.
And honestly,this is where politics becomes more interesting than simple victory speech . Winning seat once is one thing,but making sure party keeps it after leader resigns is different challenge only.
Election Commission is expected to announce bypoll date soon,so timing of this outreach matters . Vijay meeting voters now feels like attempt to show that Tiruchy East has not been abandoned just because he chose Perambur.
At same time,Tiruchy East is not only seat in picture . Resignations of four AIADMK legislators who joined TVK have also created vacancies in Perundurai,Dharapuram,Madurantakam,and Ambasamudram . So total five Assembly constituencies could be heading into by-election mode.
For newly formed Vijay-led government,this can become early test of strength . TVK has momentum rn,but bypolls are always tricky because opposition also throws everything into such contests.
And tbh,what happens in Tiruchy East may say a lot about how deep Vijay's support really is beyond first big election wave…
