Following the recent Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam conference, Vijay’s powerful speech has started a discussion in Tamil Nadu politics. However, it has now come to light that, tragically, eight supporters lost their lives in accidents on their way to or from the event, which drew lakhs of attendees. Deeply affected, Vijay released an emotional statement in response to this loss, expressing profound grief:

Our party members were travelling toward Vikravandi V.Salai to participate in the inaugural Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam state conference. Tragically, unexpected road accidents took their lives. Those we have lost include:

Advocate Mr. Gilli VL. Srinivasan, Trichy South District Youth Wing President

• Mr. JK Vijaykalai, Trichy South District Vice President
• Mr. Vasanthakumar, Party Member, Parry’s Corner, Chennai
• Mr. Riyas, Party Member, Parry’s Corner, Chennai
• Mr. Udhayakumar, Party Member, Gingee
• Mr. Charles, Party Member, Villivakkam, Chennai, who passed away despite medical treatment.

Their absence fills us with shock and grief that words cannot mend. Their invaluable contributions to the party will remain ever etched in the history of our organization.

extend my deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathies to the families of these departed comrades. I pray for their souls to rest in peace.

Additionally, I pray to the Almighty for a full and speedy recovery of those comrades still receiving treatment in the hospital due to injuries from the accidents, so that they may soon return home in good health. (sic)

Meanwhile, Vijay is yet to visit the homes of these TVK followers who lost their lives.
