00:00Now, shifting our focus to a political story from the state of war, Tamil Nadu.
00:04Actor-turned-politician Vijay has made a dramatic solo pitch ahead of the polls in the state.
00:10Now, he's declared that his party, TVK, will be contesting without any alliance,
00:15putting a full stop to all speculation so far on which side will TVK be taking if they had to join an alliance.
00:22In a fiery speech, Vijay rejected tie-ups with the DMK, with the AIA-DMK, the BJP, as well as the Congress,
00:29saying he will not be compromising on his policies and principles.
00:33He accused the DMK of being an evil force and the AIA-DMK of a slave force,
00:38alleging that both have surrendered to the BJP.
00:41Vijay said rising public faith in the TVK gives him confidence that his party can win on its own,
00:47calling on supporters to overthrow the corrupt government.
00:50Now, Vijay also told his cadders that his army is enough to take all the political giants of Tamil Nadu
00:56in this grand display of spirit and unity at Malapuram.
01:02Now, with that, we have Anaga Kesaf joining us on the broadcast with more details on this very address,
01:08on this very meeting that took place in Malapuram.
01:11Anaga, let's just quickly go through and read you our viewers' memories with regards to all that happened
01:17in this very address, in this very party meeting, as well as the concluding address that was delivered by Vijay himself.
01:26The spirit with which he has said that the party will be fighting these elections solo
01:32and it will not be going back on their policies on which TVK was established in the first place.
01:39But in fact, it was a strong statement from TVK Chief Vijay.
01:44He says that even though TVK contests alone in the assembly polls, they will definitely win.
01:49It is the kind of show of strengths that we saw from actor-turn Neta Vijay.
01:53The main motive of this meeting is to galvanize the party cadre to work at booth level to make sure that TVK wins.
02:01In fact, Vijay has also hit out at DMK and ADMK.
02:04He has called DMK as an evil force and ADMK as a slave force.
02:09He has also hit out at the BJP by saying that the ADMK has surrendered to BJP,
02:15which is continuing its fastest rule in India, is what Vijay said.
02:20Thereby asserting that even though TVK would end up contesting alone in the assembly elections,
02:25they would still win and they have that capacity and power to win, is what Vijay said.
02:31Right, Anaga. Thank you for putting it into context for our viewers at this point of time.
