The Communist Party of India (CPI) in Tamil Nadu will decide on extending support to actor Vijay’s potential political party only if he formally seeks it to form a government. CPI State Secretary R. Mutharasan stated this in response to speculation surrounding Vijay’s entry into politics and the possibility of his party needing allies.
Mutharasan clarified that the CPI has not received any communication from Vijay or his representatives regarding potential alliances. He emphasized the party’s existing alliance with the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and their commitment to the INDIA bloc. However, he indicated a willingness to consider supporting Vijay if he explicitly requests it with the intention of establishing a government.
The CPI leader highlighted that their decision would be based on a thorough assessment of Vijay’s political stance, policies, and commitment to secular and social justice principles. He questioned whether Vijay’s political venture is a genuine effort to serve the people or merely a publicity stunt.
Mutharasan criticized the BJP’s attempts to align with Vijay, suggesting that the actor should distance himself from the saffron party if he intends to represent the interests of Tamil Nadu and its people. He pointed to the BJP’s perceived anti-Tamil and anti-minority policies as reasons for concern.
He also commented on the recent political climate, noting the AIADMK’s weakened state and the potential for a multi-cornered contest in the upcoming elections. Mutharasan expressed confidence in the DMK-led alliance’s ability to secure a victory, but acknowledged the need to be prepared for any eventuality, including the emergence of a new political force like Vijay’s.
The CPI’s position is conditional and hinges on Vijay’s initiative and a demonstration of his commitment to progressive values. The party will wait for a formal request before making any firm commitments.
