TVK chief Vijay says 'DMK regime must learn from union territory govt'
Puducherry (PTI): Actor-politician, TVK chief Vijay held his first public meeting in the union territory on Tuesday and said the DMK regime in neighbouring Tamil Nadu must learn from the impartial government led by Chief Minister N Rangasamy.
He also targeted the Centre for not paying attention to the long time demand for statehood.
Addressing the rally from his custom-made campaign vehicle, Vijay said though his party, the TVK, is a rival outfit the Puducherry government has given full security to the rally and the DMK must learn from it.
"It will be good if TN's DMK regime learns from impartial Puducherry government. They will however, not learn now," he said.
"The DMK regime will 100 per cent learn their lesson from 2026 TN Assembly election; our people will ensure it," he added.
Only for Centre, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry are separate. "We people are together," Vijay said.
Puducherry Assembly has, over the years, adopted as many as 16 resolutions seeking statehood, he said.

The party leaders said the protest was organised to highlight various issues concerning the state and the "failures" of the Congress government.
They further alleged that the Siddaramaiah-led government has ignored the plight of the farmers in the state.
The BJP leaders said they, along with farmers, would lay siege to the Suvarna Vidhana Soudha in Belagavi during the ongoing winter session of the legislature.
The BJP accused the state government of failing to address the concerns of maize and sugarcane growers, claiming that maize farmers have been demanding the opening of procurement centres, which the government has yet to do. They alleged that farmers were being forced to sell their produce to middlemen at distress prices.
