00:00taking shape in Tamil Nadu with each passing day over who could emerge as the opposition
00:04alliance's Prime Minister will face for 2029. Now, as a chorus grows within the TVK to project
00:11Chief Minister Vijay as a Prime Ministerial contender, the pitch is facing a resistance
00:16from its own allies and mockery from the opposition. Now, the AIA-DMK chief, Edapadi K.
00:22Pallanaswamy, has mocked Vijay's Prime Ministerial ambitions, asking why is it that he should stop
00:27at the Prime Minister's post and quipping that he could even become the US President if he wanted.
00:32But TVK's ally Congress is not on board on this. Tamil Nadu ministers Rajesh Kumar, Vishwanathan,
00:38they've all come out earlier and backed Rahul Gandhi for Prime Minister, insisting that TVK
00:44must accept Rahul as their next Prime Minister, warning that they would resign if the party
00:48refuses to back him. And another ally, MDMK chief Vaiko, has also made his position clear, saying
00:54Rahul Gandhi remains the Prime Ministerial choice for the India bloc, dismissing Vijay's Prime Ministerial
01:00pitch. Now, remember, Vijay is only months into his first stint as the Tamil Nadu chief minister,
01:06but the latest India Today C voter mood of the nation poll is what put him at number three in
01:13the
01:13national Prime Minister preference race, right behind Prime Minister Modi, who was at 49%, Rahul Gandhi,
01:20who's at 27%. Imagine if a politician who's come to build a career in the political sphere itself over
01:29just the last two years has already made an entry into this very poll with a 9% of voter
01:36percentage
01:36at this given point. It definitely does create a conversation and that conversation clearly has
01:44started rolling in Tamil Nadu at this given point. Take a look at the responses as we speak.
02:12So far, we've just spoken about, or rather just taken you through, what
02:16Edapadi Palanaswamy has had to say.
02:18over this entire matter, but that's not the end of it. There has been a war of words so far
02:24over
02:24Vijay for Prime Minister pitch. Listen in to both sides of how it's panned out, the arguments from either
02:30sides, that is.
02:34If we need a conversation, we will be picking up, that is going to be panned out, it is going
02:44to be
02:45a part of demanding, we can not be involved in a party. We will be involved in a party, they
02:54are not related to Congress that is not agreed upon. This is not the party, we will come out
02:58ahead of the two parties. Here, in India, we intend to rest to the parties. We are playing
03:10There is no possibility for any other alternative.
03:15There is no possibility for any other alternative.
03:28There is no possibility for any other alternative.
03:35Rajul Gandhi is a prominent candidate.
03:42That is why he is not allowed to talk about this.
03:45He is a great leader.
03:48He is a great leader.
03:50He is a great leader.
03:53He is a great leader.
04:01He is a great leader.
04:06He is a great leader.
04:10He is a great leader.
04:12He is a great leader.
04:18He is a great leader.
04:32He is a great leader.
04:34He is a great leader.
04:35That isrigan, sorry!
04:52He is a great leader.
04:55on with why are we saying that let's quickly take you through this aspect of this entire story as
05:01well number one Vijay emerging as an alternative at this given point that is one of the crucial
05:08points that we've come to realize from the mood of the nation poll itself that if a leader who's
05:13just started his career in the political sphere itself has already entered a prime ministerial
05:20race it really really means he has left and struck a chord with the people and left a mark with
05:26them
05:26takeaway number two here would be Vijay entering prime ministerial race at the cost of prime minister
05:32modi again takeaway three here is the anti-incumbency vote moving to Vijay than Rahul whether that is a
05:40possibility people need to understand that as well whether there is an entire aspect even a doorway
05:46open nationally speaking for the anti-incumbency votes to in fact come into Vijay and not Rahul
05:53takeaway number four curiosity factor in a superstar turned chief minister of course remains at the end
06:00of the day and that stardom factor of course has been there with Vijay and contrary to what many
06:07had believed back then that how much of that stardom factor how much of his fan base could
06:13actually be converted into real voter base well that really came out to be all of those speculation
06:18really came out to be proven wrong when he came to secure the numbers that he did himself winning
06:26two seats for that matter in the state assembly elections that happened just a few months back
06:31takeaway number five here the big gen z factor in Vijay's rising popularity he has a massive youth
06:37appeal and this is not just true for tamil nadu in general young a young leader like him would of
06:43course come out to appeal to the next generations who will be forming and who already have formed a
06:49very important voter base for the country in itself takeaway number six here the popularity is growing
06:56beyond just the south people are curious across the country at this given point about the Vijay factor
07:03it's gotten to a point where people had been asking questions and they really had their heads
07:09turning over his political journey once he did come into power right in the month of may once he secured
07:16those numbers it was quite the turning point of not just his career but it made a point of making
07:23it
07:23into people's conversations across the country that a new politician of his kind has indeed then struck a chord
07:30some way or the other which is why he's come out and with such thumping numbers for that matter
07:37thunderous victory that was for him on that note and this is just an analysis we were taking you
07:42from the sea voter mood of the nation polls itself
