Neither stopped the traffic, nor put up barricades… Tamil Nadu CM Joseph Vijay’s convoy passed through the general public in such a way that people kept watching.


At present, a video and news is coming out from the world of Indian politics, political corridors of South India and social media, which has attracted the attention of the entire country. Generally, whenever the convoy of a Chief Minister or a VVIP passes through any state in the country, in the name of tight security arrangements, traffic on the roads is stopped hours before, routes are diverted, and the general public has to face a lot of problems. But the newly elected Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Joseph Vijay, has set an example out of the box, which has changed the definition of political culture. Recently, such a scene has emerged from the roads of Tamil Nadu, where the convoy of the Chief Minister passed by, but neither the traffic of the general public was stopped nor any heavy barricades were put up. The video of this unique and simple style is becoming increasingly viral on social media and people are praising this initiative of CM Vijay. Let us know in detail what is the real truth of this entire incident and why it is being discussed so much on social media.

CM Vijay’s convoy passed through the general public without stopping traffic and without barricading.

The security arrangements of the Chief Minister of any state are extremely sensitive, due to which the huge security convoy and VVIP protocol often become a big obstacle in the way of common citizens. Generally, before the arrival of the Chief Minister, the police completely stops the traffic on both sides so that the convoy can pass without any hindrance. But Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Joseph Vijay has adopted a very unique and humane approach, setting aside these traditional and VVIP culture-related methods.

In the viral video that has surfaced, it can be clearly seen that on one side the official convoy of Chief Minister Joseph Vijay is passing through one lane of the road, while on the other side, the general public and vehicles are moving normally on the other lane of the road. Only a few traffic policemen were seen deployed between the Chief Minister’s convoy and the general public, who were controlling the traffic. The surprising thing is that neither any extensive barricading was put up in the name of security on the route through which the Chief Minister was passing, nor was the city traffic stopped for hours. The common people were busy with their daily chores and the Chief Minister’s convoy passed peacefully right by them.

This style of the Chief Minister is seen on social media, the public is praising it a lot.

As soon as the video of this simple and people-friendly journey of Chief Minister Joseph Vijay was uploaded on social media platforms (like X, Instagram and Facebook), it spread like wildfire. Internet users are watching this video again and again and are giving their positive reactions on it. People say that politicians should be such among the public that they understand the problems of the common man and do not become unnecessary hindrances in their daily life.

Users are writing on social media that this is proof that if there is will, a smooth system can be run with security even without the presence of VVIPs. It can be seen in the video that neither any traffic jam situation arose nor did any citizen face police strictness during the Chief Minister’s passage. On one hand, while many politicians keep the general public stuck in traffic for hours in the name of their security and convoy, on the other hand, this step of Chief Minister Joseph Vijay is like a breath of fresh air in Indian politics.

This decision of Tamil Nadu CM is a big slap on VVIP culture.

Political analysts believe that this step of Joseph Vijay is not limited to just a viral video, rather it is a big slap on the old ‘VVIP culture’ prevalent in the country’s politics, which stands as a big wall between the general public and the public representatives. Leaders who are among the public during elections often distance themselves from the general public after coming to power, under the cover of red lights, sirens and heavy security.

On the contrary, Chief Minister Joseph Vijay has proved by his conduct that even after coming to power, he is connected to the ground and is completely sensitive towards the problems of the common man. Traveling among the public like this without any frills is increasing his popularity further. There is great enthusiasm and happiness among the people of Tamil Nadu that their Chief Minister is the only person among them who understands their problems. However, this video has set a great example for other politicians across the country as to how a balance between power and simplicity can be maintained.
