Before the assembly elections in Tamil Nadu, there is intense talk of an alliance between BJP and actor Vijay’s party TVK. According to reports, Vijay has been offered the post of Deputy CM and 80 seats, but talks on the post of Chief Minister are stuck.
Tamil Nadu Politics: Political turmoil has intensified before the upcoming assembly elections in Tamil Nadu. The discussion about the formation of a new equation in the politics of the state is gaining momentum. There are reports that talks are going on for an alliance between the Bharatiya Janata Party and famous actor Vijay’s party Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam i.e. TVK. If this alliance happens then a big change can be seen in the politics of Tamil Nadu.
According to sources, talks between the two sides have reached the final stages. BJP wants actor Vijay’s party to become a part of the National Democratic Alliance i.e. NDA. The party hopes that Vijay’s popularity and his huge fan base can be used in the elections. However, there is still a hurdle in the talks regarding the post of Chief Minister.
Important role of Vijay in BJP’s strategy
BJP has been trying to strengthen its position in Tamil Nadu for the last several elections. The politics of the state has long revolved around regional parties like DMK and AIADMK. In such a situation, BJP is working on a strategy to change the electoral equation through new faces and new equations.
Under this strategy, contact has been made with actor Vijay’s party. Vijay is one of the most popular film stars of South India and has a huge youth following.
Big offer given to Vijay
According to reports, BJP has given a big offer to actor Vijay for alliance. If the alliance of BJP and TVK wins the elections, then Vijay can be given the post of Deputy Chief Minister.
Apart from this, BJP has also shown a liberal attitude regarding seat distribution. According to sources, a proposal has been made to give about 80 seats to Vijay’s party. This proposal is an indication that BJP is taking Vijay’s political power seriously and wants to associate him with it.
Talks stalled regarding the post of Chief Minister
The biggest problem in the alliance talks is said to be regarding the post of Chief Minister. According to sources, actor Vijay himself wants to become the Chief Minister and this issue remains the biggest obstacle in the talks at present.
Many leaders of Vijay’s party believe that considering his popularity and public support, he should directly claim for the post of Chief Minister. On the other hand, BJP is not yet in a position to give clear consent on this issue.
BJP’s eye on Vijay’s fan base
Actor Vijay’s popularity in Tamil Nadu is not hidden from anyone. Lakhs of people flock to theaters to watch his films and his fan clubs are active across the state.
BJP strategists believe that if Vijay plays an active role in the elections, it can directly impact the votes. His influence is considered very strong especially among young voters.
Political experts say that in a tightly contested state like Tamil Nadu, even if only 2 percent of the votes go in one direction, the outcome of the election can change. In such a situation, Vijay’s presence can prove to be a big electoral advantage for BJP.
Discussion going on inside TVK also
However, there is no complete consensus within Vijay’s party regarding this possible alliance. Some senior leaders and advisors of the party are worried about this alliance.
He believes that Vijay’s party is new in politics and has presented itself as an independent alternative. If they become part of a big national alliance so soon, their separate identity may be affected. Some advisors also say that the party should first strengthen its organization and then consider a bigger political alliance.
Interest increased due to Vijay’s entry into politics
Ever since actor Vijay entered politics, a new discussion had started in Tamil Nadu politics. His party TVK has tried to present itself as a new and clean alternative.
Vijay’s supporters believe that he will bring new thinking different from traditional politics. This is the reason why his popularity among young voters is continuously increasing.
Equations may change in Tamil Nadu elections
Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu have always been highly competitive. Even small changes in politics here can bring big results. If there is an alliance between BJP and Vijay’s party, it can bring a new turn in the politics of the state. This may also affect the strategy of DMK and other parties.
