Vijay Vs Udhayanidhi Stalin: Fiery Tamil Nadu Assembly Clash Leaves House In Splits
- Updated Jun 23, 2026 9:37 PM IST
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay delivered one of his most combative speeches yet in the Assembly, taking on critics who labelled TVK an "actor's party" and defending the party's electoral mandate. Pointing to TVK's performance in the elections, Vijay said the party had fought alone and emerged as the single-largest force in the state. The Chief Minister also launched a sharp attack on the previous DMK government, alleging misuse of TASMAC revenue and promising corruption-free governance. As opposition members questioned his claims, Vijay hit back on issues ranging from law and order to political accountability, insisting that crime did not begin with the change in government.
The heated session also witnessed lighter moments when Vijay recreated a trademark gesture associated with M.K. Stalin, drawing laughter across the House. However, the exchange soon turned confrontational as Leader of the Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin accused the Chief Minister of avoiding key questions and turning the Assembly into a cinema set. With allegations, counter-allegations and dramatic exchanges dominating proceedings, the Tamil Nadu Assembly once again showcased the state's unique blend of politics and cinema.
