Tamil Nadu’s political arena saw fresh sparring after the AIADMK came out in support of actor-turned-politician Vijay, accusing the ruling DMK of attempting to damage his reputation as he prepares for his first electoral battle.

The defence of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam leader came after a petition related to his divorce case surfaced in public discourse, triggering political reactions in the state. 

AIADMK leader Sellur Raju alleged that the controversy was being pushed deliberately by the DMK in an attempt to weaken Vijay’s growing political presence.

“This is DMK deliberately doing anything to come back to power,” he said.

“This is being spread to tarnish the image of brother Vijay,” Raju added, accusing the ruling party of orchestrating the issue to discredit the actor-turned-politician.
