A case has been filed against Vijay, the head of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), for allegedly breaching election regulations by organizing an unauthorized roadshow in Chennai’s T Nagar area. This action was taken after a complaint from an Election Flying Squad officer, claiming that Vijay conducted the roadshow despite having permission for a different campaign event.
The deviation from the approved campaign format is considered a violation of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) in place for the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections on April 23. Police have registered three separate cases related to this incident at the West Mambalam, Nungambakkam, and Vepery police stations against Vijay, along with various TVK candidates and district-level party officials.
Authorities clarified that the permissions granted were for specific activities, and any changes, like converting them into a large roadshow, needed prior approval. The Election Flying Squad, responsible for enforcing poll guidelines, swiftly acted due to the alleged non-compliance with these conditions, amid heightened election campaigning in Tamil Nadu.
