The Sharpness of the Weapon Vijay Has Chosen:
Vijay’s actions recall the early years of MGR’s rule.There is a French saying that an old elephant, merely because it knows every direction and scent of the forest, should not underestimate the arrow of a newly arrived archer.
It appears that both the DMK and the AIADMK are underestimating Chief Minister Vijay’s repeated attacks on corruption, bribery, and dynastic politics. They are also underestimating how strongly these issues are beginning to influence public discussion.
The two parties carry the burden of serious allegations involving corruption and dynastic politics. Both have also faced decisive punishment from voters in past elections.
Vijay does not have a political family surrounding him. During the first two months of his administration, the government has taken several notable steps against bribery and corruption. People are also saying that demands for bribes have declined in many government offices. This is a good beginning.
At the same time, it is difficult to morally justify retaining within the party individuals such as Vijayabaskar, who face serious corruption allegations. It is equally difficult to justify attempts to attract opposition legislators to the ruling side. The people of Tamil Nadu are careful observers.
The weapon Vijay has chosen is therefore a large and extremely sharp sword. However, the sword has no handle. A mistake by the person wielding it could cause a serious injury. If it is handled correctly, however, history may reward him greatly.
An IAS officer who served during that period told me that Vijay’s actions reminded him of MGR’s first term in office. That comparison is appropriate.
MGR’s first administration, from 1977 to 1980, is remembered as one of the better periods of governance in Tamil Nadu. One important reason was the attention he gave to controlling bribery and corruption. Another was his determination to keep his family away from political power.
In later years, increasing election expenses gradually pushed the AIADMK toward a system in which selected businesspeople were encouraged and party funds were collected through them. Even then, the public continued to believe that MGR would not use public money for his personal life.
MGR was also determined that the stain of dynastic politics should not fall upon him. This became one of the strongest foundations of his position as an almost unbeatable Chief Minister in modern Tamil Nadu’s political history.
This pattern is not limited to Tamil Nadu. Across India, voters have repeatedly rewarded leaders who maintained a reputation for personal integrity and avoided dynastic succession.
Four Chief Ministers who remained in office for around two decades shared this common feature. Pawan Kumar Chamling governed Sikkim for 24 years. Naveen Patnaik governed Odisha for 24 years. Jyoti Basu governed West Bengal for 23 years. Manik Sarkar governed Tripura for 20 years.
None of them carried a direct stain of personal corruption in their private lives, and none openly promoted dynastic succession in politics. Narendra Modi, who has now spent more than two decades serving as Chief Minister and Prime Minister, also possesses this political weapon.
To understand the opposite pattern in Tamil Nadu, one may compare the overwhelming victory secured by the DMK in 1971 with the overwhelming victory secured by the AIADMK in 1991.

Please sometime use your brain,
@arivalayam MLA G. V. Markandeyan was arrested because threatening remarks against Tamilnadu CMVijay at a public meeting in Kovilpatti.
Free speech allows criticism, not threats of violence. Under BNS Section 351-1, criminal intimidation involves threatening harm to scare or coerce someone. Section 351-3 allows up to seven years’ imprisonment if the threat involves death or serious injury. If there’s credible evidence, police can investigate.
BNS Section 352 may apply if the speech risks a breach of peace, while Section 353 applies if false or alarming information caused fear or chaos.
Being an MLA offers no protection for statements made outside the Assembly.
I hope this Time Justice Prevail.

DMK-BJP alliance becoming possible
A few months ago, DMK projected itself as one of the strongest opponents of BJP’s delimitation proposal. #DMK leaders warned that it could reduce Tamil Nadu’s political representation and organized campaigns against it.
Now, #DMK’s language appears to be changing.
Instead of rejecting the proposal outright, @arivalayam says it will examine the bill and consider supporting it if Tamil Nadu’s parliamentary representation is protected. It is also signaling that its final decision may not automatically follow Congress.
But the political distance between DMK and BJP is clearly narrowing. An issue-based understanding could come first, followed by a broader political arrangement later.
Now everyone can see that real DMK’S anti-BJP just a drama for campaign political strategy.
*DMK-ADMK- BJP*

Koyambedu congestion is real, but your political story is not supported by facts.
The same evening bottleneck was officially reported in January 2026, months before CM Vijay’s government. Illegal private bus pickups, government buses leaving CMBT, pedestrian crossings and poor flyover planning were all identified as causes.
Private buses were already operating under Madras High Court directions issued in 2024. Their May 2026 request for wider Koyambedu operations is not evidence that CM Vijay or Minister Parthiban gave them a free pass.
You have also provided zero evidence that CMVijay travels through Koyambedu every day or that his convoy creates this daily congestion. Give the date, time and video.
The government must act against buses violating traffic rules. But inventing facts and blaming CM Vijay for a problem that existed before his government is not criticism. It is political propaganda.
Guys like you are #DMK imbecile doesn’t need proof to believe you just want blame TVK ...But I am very happy see @arivalayam are frustrated and crying 😢. We will keep you and you #DMK camp frustrating for very very long time.
You are mixing two separate matters to manufacture a political narrative.
TTV Dhinakaran filed a complaint alleging that TVK used a forged support letter in AMMK MLA S. Kamaraj’s name. At that stage, no FIR had been registered; police said a preliminary inquiry would be conducted. TVK later released a video showing Kamaraj voluntarily signing the letter. Kamaraj subsequently supported the CM Vijay government in the Assembly and publicly denied any horse trading.
Yet you blindly accept every allegation made by an opportunistic politician like TTV Dhinakaran without demanding evidence.
Vijayan was summoned as a witness, not arrested or declared guilty. If you believe the TVK government misused police power, produce evidence and approach the court or the Human Rights Commission. Journalism is not immunity from investigation, and social media accusations are not proof.
@rajarajan2908
Mr. Rajarajan, TN Police cannot randomly search anyone’s phone. But this inquiry was not presented as having no connection. Police stated that R. Vijayan had electronic communications with persons already arrested in the case. That does not prove guilt, but it can create a lawful basis to examine case related digital evidence under Section 94 of the BNSS.
The real privacy protection begins after the phone is collected. Police cannot publicly reveal Vijayan’s personal photographs, private conversations, family details, confidential sources, or any unrelated information. They cannot use such material to humiliate him or target him for matters outside the case. Only data relevant to the investigation should be examined and used. Any leak or misuse must lead to legal action against the responsible officers.
Privacy must also be defended consistently. Today, some people portray Vijayan as the sole defender of democracy and call even a legitimate investigation “fascism.” But in the Pollachi case, the survivor’s identity was officially disclosed. In the Anna University case, the survivor’s FIR details entered the public domain. Those were direct and serious violations of women’s privacy. Where was this level of outrage then?
Protecting the privacy of a favored journalist while remaining silent when women survivors’ dignity is destroyed is not democracy. That selective outrage, political immunity, and unequal standard are far closer to fascism than a lawful investigation conducted with proper privacy safeguards.
if you genuinely believe this entire horse trading case was fabricated, there is a clear legal remedy. The accused or any directly aggrieved person can approach the Madras High Court under Section 528 of the BNSS, challenge the FIR and the seizure, and place material showing that no prima facie offense exists or that the investigation is an abuse of process. If that is established, the High Court can quash the proceedings.
First understand the facts. Vijayan was summoned as a witness, not arrested. The summons was delivered to the Puthiya Thalaimurai office on July 15. He immediately informed the management, canceled his program and appeared with colleagues and a lawyer. So stop pretending that the channel knew nothing.
Your own side now claims that Thirunavukkarasu was Vijayan’s “source” and that Vijayan was gathering evidence for a major horse trading scoop. But Vijayan’s editor admits that the alleged message about toppling the TVK government had already been discussed inside the newsroom. Why, then, was no evidence based exclusive published before Thirunavukkarasu was arrested? Their explanation is that they dismissed it as an ordinary rumor. That contradicts the new heroic story that he was secretly investigating a major scoop.
The police have not said that one interview or one ordinary message made Vijayan an accused. They said documentary evidence showed “objectionable electronic communications” and continuous contact during the alleged conspiracy. The channel disputes that and calls it occasional professional communication. The exact duration, number of messages and content have not yet been publicly released. That is precisely why the phone was taken for forensic examination.
Thirunavukkarasu was not an innocent random contact discovered later. He was arrested along with Naresh and Thiyagarajan. Police allege that Naresh met Senthil Balaji’s brother Ashok Kumar and that Thirunavukkarasu approached the TVK MLA on their instructions. Vijayan is still not guilty merely because he communicated with him, but “journalist” is not a legal shield against relevant questioning.
You may question the late-night questioning, long waiting period or seizure procedure. Those concerns must be examined legally. But there is currently no evidence that Vijayan was summoned merely because he criticized the TVK government. If criticism alone were the reason, every DMK or AIADMK friendly anchor attacking CM Vijay would be facing police action. They are not.
Protect his privacy and legal rights, but do not invent a press freedom conspiracy before the forensic evidence is examined.

Journalists across India and the world have sacrificed their lives to uncover the truth. But people like you behave as if merely holding a microphone or appearing on television makes you a defender of democracy.
When victims faced alleged illegal arrests, intimidation and serious abuses under the previous DMK government, where was this outrage? You neither questioned the government nor stood with the victims. You chose to protect the man sitting on the silver chair king, Mr.@mkstalin, instead of holding power accountable.
Now, after the TVK government took office, you suddenly remember press freedom and ask which journalist will be summoned next. Do not project the DMK government’s record onto CM Vijay’s government or manufacture an imaginary victim narrative before establishing the facts.
You are a “journalist” only within the DMK-supported media circle of Sun TV, Sun News, Kalaignar TV and other DMK friendly or indirectly aligned news platforms. Outside that political comfort zone, your journalism, courage, concern for victims and questions about democracy suddenly disappear.
These channels help bury inconvenient truths, protect one political establishment and create selective narratives against its opponents. Supporting such journalism does not uphold democracy. It turns journalism into political propaganda.
There many good journalists investigate everything finding truth and stand with victims but there worst like you journalist selectively defending the DMK ecosystem, remaining silent about its alleged abuses and attacking only its opponents is not journalism. It is political loyalty disguised as journalism, and it brings disgrace to a profession built by people who sacrificed their lives for the truth.

CMVijay today conducted a surprise inspection at the M.C. Raja Social Justice Hostel in Saidapet after students raised serious complaints.
The reported issues included poor hygiene, delayed and low-quality food, inadequate basic facilities and allegations of bribery in hostel administration. CM Vijay directly inspected the kitchen, rooms, toilets and other facilities and interacted with the students.
Social justice is meaningless when disadvantaged students are forced to live without dignity. Identifying failures through direct inspection and holding negligent officials accountable is real governance—not governance from an air-conditioned office.

Before calling me brainless and mocking my PhD, first understand one simple difference: whether a plan can succeed and whether an illegal act was attempted are not the same question.
Nobody said that one MLA’s vote alone would immediately bring down the government. The allegation is that ₹35 crore was offered to influence an elected MLA’s vote as part of a wider political attempt. Reports also said the investigation involved several people and multiple arrests.
Your argument is: “One vote cannot topple the government, so the entire case must be fake.” That is not intelligent reasoning. A failed or incomplete plan does not mean no illegal attempt was made.
Section 8 of the Prevention of Corruption Act deals with giving or promising an undue advantage to make a public servant act improperly. The law does not require the bribe to succeed before the matter can be investigated.
Section 61 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita deals with criminal conspiracy. When two or more people allegedly agree to carry out an illegal act, that agreement itself can be investigated. The final plan does not have to succeed.
So the point is simple:
One vote may not topple a government.
But offering money for that vote can still be a serious offence.
A plan can fail, but the alleged crime does not disappear.
My PhD taught me to separate evidence, logic, method and conclusion. You took one fact, “one vote is not enough,” and used it to declare the entire case fabricated before the investigation was completed.
Mocking my education does not repair your broken logic. I believe you are the one who is brainless here, because you cannot even understand the difference between an unsuccessful political plan and an alleged illegal attempt.
I am happy to see @arivalayam people exposing themselves as complete garbage. They cannot answer a single opinion with facts, so they immediately run to personal attacks.
They mock my education and call me a “tharkuri” only because I support CM Vijay. That does not insult me. It exposes their rotten political mindset. No facts, no argument, no dignity, just abuse whenever someone refuses to worship their silver-chair king @mkstalin.
Calling it “absolute drivel” is not an answer, Mr.Radhakrishnan. It only shows that you have no facts to defend your claim.
You said Vijayan was kept “for no reason.” Prove it. He was summoned in connection with a serious ₹35 crore horse trading investigation. Instead of answering that, you used a cheap insult.
This is not journalism. This is arrogance without evidence. When someone questions your claim, you attack the person because you cannot answer the facts.
Either explain why the summons had no reason, or admit that your original post was political propaganda dressed up as journalism.
Yes, a PhD. But my education taught me one important lesson: you do not need a degree to question power, examine facts or reject blind king worship.
It certainly did not teach me to bow before the man sitting in a silver chair, @mkstalin, while he hallucinates that he is the permanent ruler of Tamil Nadu.
You think Thalapathy Vijay is using us. That is exactly where @arivalayam is mistaken. We are consciously supporting CM Vijay and will continuously Support to remove political parasites like you from Tamil Nadu.
