South cinema superstar turned politician Thalapathy Vijay is in the headlines across the country these days for his new political innings and party ‘Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam’ (TVK). Recently, the stir in the political circles of Tamil Nadu has suddenly become very intense due to a grand feast and political program organized by Vijay. The mysterious absence of left parties in this program has raised many serious questions. Political pundits are now busy analyzing whether this distance between the Left parties is a sign of a new political equation and whether it is going to have a major impact on the future of the current government.
After all, why did the leftist parties withdraw their hands from the invitation of superstar Vijay?
The Left parties have had a strong and ideological support base in Tamil Nadu politics. The absence of leftist leaders in this important meeting and banquet of Thalapathy Vijay’s party TVK is not being considered as a mere coincidence. According to sources, the Left parties are currently not completely convinced about Vijay’s political ideology, his policies and his future agenda. Apart from this, keeping in mind the existing coalition equations of the state, Left leaders are avoiding appearing on any new political platform. This tough stand of the Left parties amid continuous social engineering and efforts by Vijay to strengthen its hold on the ground has become a big topic of consideration for TVK strategists.
Can this political upheaval pose any real threat to the current government?
As soon as the news of the Left parties staying away from this feast came to light, the discussion also started in full swing whether this could create any crisis for the present government of the state. However, looking at the current political figures and the situation in the Assembly, there is no immediate technical or majority threat to the government. But, the increasing popularity of Thalapathy Vijay and this new movement in the opposition camp has definitely increased the concerns of the ruling party. If Vijay is successful in bringing small parties and disgruntled groups into his fold in the future, then the electoral contest in the coming times can be very interesting and triangular, which can make a big dent in the vote bank of the current ruling coalition.
