Actor and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay delivered a fiery speech in Chennai during the home stretch of the upcoming Tamil Nadu elections.
The actor-politician slammed those dismissing him as just an actor during his address, where he also spoke about the Karur stampede, which left over 40 dead.
Vijay seemed annoyed as he said sarcastically, “There’s this minister who keeps saying, Vijay is an actor, Vijay is an actor…Yes, I am an actor. It’s as if he has discovered something new.”
He, however, spoke about his future in politics, adding, “But I haven’t acted in politics. I haven’t acted since entering politics. What you’re doing is performing drama over drama, shall we call you actors and actresses then?”
Vijay also spoke about the Karur stampede during a TVK rally last year that left over 40 dead and many injured.
“Why are you blaming me? You made a video saying we wouldn’t even talk about this, and now you're blaming me for it,” he said before forcefully adding, “I was there at the time the police provided permission to me. Everything is on live, don’t you have a conscience?”
