M.K. Stalin Questions Stability of Tamil Nadu's TVK Government Led by Vijay

DMK president M.K. Stalin criticized the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) government led by Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, describing its electoral success as a 'cinema tsunami' driven by Vijay's popularity as an actor rather than political support. Stalin highlighted the TVK's reliance on allied parties for a majority and predicted the government's eventual fall before completing its term. He also praised the previous DMK administration's governance over the past five years.
