Actor-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) is contesting solo in the upcoming Tamil Nadu assembly election, which is being held in a single phase on April 23.
Vijay is contesting from two seats – Perambur and Trichy East – in the upcoming polls. TVK is also contesting the assembly election in Puducherry.
The TVK chief has made it clear that his party will not 'compromise' on its stance for 'secular social justice principles', asserting that he will lead the government if voted to power.
Experts have said that Vijay's TVK is a "newborn baby" in politics, and that he will have to work for several years to achieve his political dream in Tamil Nadu.
They have also cited the actor-politician's lack of experience and the fact that the ruling DMK has a very strong hold in Tamil Nadu.
Vijay has promised several promises for women, including financial aid of ₹2,500 per month, a sovereign gold and a silk saree as a wedding gift to young women, and six LPG cylinders free for all families.
However, the party faces several issues, including the CBI probe into the Karur rally stampede and the Jana Nayagan censor row.
Political strategist Niranjan Ramesh Babu said that Vijay wants to make his face a "strong political branding" and has made it very clear that there won't be any alliance.
He has also persistently claimed that he will be the CM and rule Tamil Nadu.
Niranjan said that Vijay wants to be a lion, but has to get on the ground and fight for the people.
