A fresh political war of words has erupted in Tamil Nadu after DMK leader M.K. Stalin took a sharp swipe at actor-politician Vijay over his recent speech in the Legislative Assembly. Stalin accused Vijay, the leader of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, of turning Assembly proceedings into a dramatic performance rather than focusing on issues of public importance. The criticism came after Vijay's speech gained widespread attention for its cinematic style and viral moments. Taking aim at the conduct of the Assembly session, Stalin questioned why the Speaker allowed Vijay's address to be filmed without interruptions, comparing it to a movie shoot rather than a legislative debate.
