Supporters Display 'Next PM Vijay 2029' Placards During Modi's IIT Madras Event
At an official event at IIT Madras attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, supporters of Vijay displayed placards and blew whistles hailing him as the "Next PM". The group, identified as Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam cadre, caused a brief disturbance during Modi's speech. Police intervened, asking them to lower placards and calm down, but the supporters resumed their actions intermittently. The event also included Modi inaugurating projects worth Rs 13,000 crore in Tamil Nadu.
