From the outset, Vijay positioned TVK as a modern Dravidian alternative, seeking to appeal to a broad spectrum of voters.

He has been vocal in his criticism of rivals, describing the DMK as an “evil force” and the BJP as an “ideological opponent,” framing the election as a larger ideological contest rather than a conventional political fight.
