Echoing phrases once used by late AIADMK leaders MG Ramachandran and J Jayalalithaa, he said he now understood why they were so harsh in their criticism of the DMK.“The contest is now between the thooya sakthi TVK and theeya sakthi DMK,” he said, as quoted by news agency PTI.

Calling Periyar the “Iron Man of Erode”, he said Periyar laid the ideological foundation of Tamil Nadu, while Anna and MGR showed how to win elections, which are legacies that belonged to the people, not one party, according to an India Today report. He dismissed criticism over invoking these icons and alleged a sustained smear campaign against him by vested interests.The rally carried symbolic weight, coming near the home turf of former AIADMK heavyweight KA Sengottaiyan, who recently joined TVK and was presented as a major boost to the party. Vijay hinted that more leaders would soon follow.(With PTI inputs)
