Speaking at the Salem rally, the TVK chief urged voters to vote for the "whistle" symbol in the upcoming state elections. He also told voters to not decline money offered from other parties as he urged them to choose TVK.
As he addressed the crowd in in Tamil, Vijay also slammed the ruling DMK and the main opposition AIADMK — without naming them — and said he is not like “those who depend on allies”.
“For the DMK, alliance is only to win; and for all other things, such as governance, they will be on their own,” he said.
