Senior DMK leader and Minister Duraimurugan has responded to questions regarding the political ambitions of actor Vijay, leader of the TVK party, with a pragmatic “wait and see” attitude. His comments, made during a press conference in Vellore, suggest a lack of immediate concern from the ruling party about the actor’s recently announced political activities.When asked by reporters about Vijay’s planned political tour, Duraimurugan responded, “Let Vijay come out first and we’ll see.” He further added, “What does it matter to us if he holds his tour on a Saturday or a Friday?”
These remarks indicate that the DMK leadership is not yet viewing Vijay as a significant political threat. The minister’s tone, as reported in the article, was dismissive of the actor’s initial moves, suggesting that the DMK will only assess the political landscape once Vijay’s new party demonstrates its organizational strength and public support on the ground. The comments were made in the context of broader political discussions in the state, with the minister also addressing other topics during the press conference.
Duraimurugan’s statements are a clear signal that the DMK is currently unperturbed by the emergence of a new political contender and is awaiting concrete action from the actor before formulating a more definitive political strategy.
