Vijay, founder and chief of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), is actively campaigning for the Tamil Nadu elections, contesting from the Perambur and Tiruchirappalli East constituencies. However, he faces criticism for not campaigning after 6 PM. His father, SA Chandrasekhar, revealed that this decision stems from Vijay's anxiety following the Karur stampede, which tragically resulted in 41 deaths.
