TVK chief Vijay filed his nomination from Chennai’s Perambur seat, urging voters to back his party’s whistle symbol. Declaring assets worth Rs 615 crore, he attacked the ruling DMK and Chief Minister MK Stalin, promising honest governance. Vijay called for a “whistle revolution” and positioned himself as a pro-people alternative in Tamil Nadu elections.

TVK chief Vijay on Monday filed his nomination from the Perambur constituency in Chennai and urged voters to support his party’s whistle symbol in the April 23 elections, expressing confidence in forming the government.

In his affidavit, Vijay declared total assets worth Rs 615 crore, including movable assets of Rs 405 crore and immovable assets valued at Rs 210 crore.

Addressing supporters from an open-top campaign vehicle after filing his nomination, Vijay sharply criticised the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, calling it responsible for the current state of Tamil Nadu. He directly targeted Chief Minister M K Stalin, alleging that his government had failed the people.

Vijay said he had stepped away from a comfortable life to enter politics with the aim of serving the public and repaying their support. He assured voters that he would remain honest and committed, promising not to mislead them.
