Vijay For PM? TVK Ministers Pitch Tamil Superstar For Top Job | 2029 Battle

Tamil superstar-turned-politician Vijay’s political ambitions appear to be expanding beyond Tamil Nadu. Two TVK ministers have now publicly pitched him as a potential future Prime Minister. Tamil Nadu Minister D Sarathkumar called Vijay the “next Indian PM”, while PWD Minister Aadhav Arjuna argued that India’s next Prime Minister should emerge from the South. The remarks come nearly three decades after HD Deve Gowda became the last Prime Minister from southern India. But Congress leaders Karti Chidambaram and Manickam Tagore have dismissed the buzz, with Karti backing Rahul Gandhi as a potential PM candidate. With the 2029 Lok Sabha elections still some distance away, is TVK already laying the groundwork for a national role for Vijay?
