Outcome of Assembly polls next year in TN will be similar to those seen in 1967, 1977: Vijay
Chennai, Jul 30 (PTI): Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam chief Vijay on Wednesday expressed confidence of his party winning the 2026 Assembly election and he recalled the 1967 and 1977 polls that installed fresh regimes in the state.
Vijay, unveiling the exclusive app for membership enrolment at the party headquarters here, said the result of 2026 polls would also be similar to that of elections held in 1967 and 1977.
"We are firm about this and we have been talking about this," he said addressing party functionaries adding the outcome of those polls were in favour of new parties.
"When we see the reason behind their victories (in 1967 and 1977), the logic is simple," he said.
Explaining further, he said those parties decades ago had went door-to-door in every town across the state and met the people.
"They met all the people," he said and quoted Dravidian ideologue CN Annadurai's popular "go to the people, learn from them," verse.
"If we do this properly, it will be enough," he said and urged cadres to focus on membership enrolment. "We will be able to win, that is for sure," he asserted.
In 1967, the DMK formed the government, dislodging the Congress party.
In 1977, the AIADMK, founded in 1972 by MG Ramachandran, formed the government for the first time. In 1976, the DMK government was dismissed during the infamous Emergency period (1975-77).

Karnataka School Edu Dept prohibits children from being made to dance to obscene songs
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka School Education Department has issued a circular strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs in educational and cultural programmes.
It stated that such dances would negatively impact students' mental health and moral values. It will create indiscipline and harm the sanctity of education.
"All the Deputy Directors (Administration) of the state's School Education Department have been asked to take strict measures to prevent children or students from dancing to obscene songs in all government, aided and unaided schools in the state," the office of the commissioner of the School Education Department said in a recent circular.
"If it is found that children are being made to dance to obscene songs, appropriate action will be taken against the headmaster or management of such school," it added.
The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.
Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
