Chennai: Vijay’s Tamilga Vettai Kazhagam (TVK) on Monday cancelled a planned election campaign event in Chennai. According to party sources, Vijay was scheduled to hold public meetings and road shows in the Villivakkam and T. Nagar assembly constituencies, but the event had to be cancelled due to administrative restrictions.
Sources say that despite receiving permission to campaign, the police did not provide sufficient time for travel between the two locations, making it impossible to complete the event effectively. The party termed this a serious issue, stating that such restrictions could impact the electoral process. TVK is reportedly preparing to raise the matter with the Election Commission of India. However, no official statement has been issued by the party yet.
Political analysts believe that such administrative challenges could pose a major problem for political parties and candidates during the election season. The role of the administration is also considered crucial in ensuring fair elections. Tamil Nadu will have a single phase of polling on April 23, with the counting of votes taking place on May 4. In such a situation, all the parties are accelerating their campaigning at their own level, and every small development can affect the election strategy.
