TVK Rally Date & Time: When & Where Will Vijay's Next 'Men Only' Event Be Held?

Actor-turned-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) has secured the necessary permission from the Erode police to conduct a public meeting. Notably, the district administration has mentioned that the event should be attended only by men.

The event is scheduled for December 18, and Vijay is expected to make a key announcement regarding the upcoming Assembly elections: the date for aspiring candidates to submit their applications.

This event is a crucial step for TVK, which formally launched earlier this year, marking a definitive entry into Tamil Nadu's political landscape ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections. The party has been focusing on expanding its organizational footprint across the state and projecting itself as a people-focused alternative to the established political players.

The path to obtaining permission was marked by compliance with stringent safety and logistical demands. TVK's leadership confirmed that they have accepted and responded to all the conditions imposed by the police. The focus on a controlled, time-bound event comes in the wake of the stampede in Karur on September 27.

The party's Chief Coordinator, KA Sengottaiyan, underlined the party's ambition, stating that TVK's power is derived from the people of Tamil Nadu, and with their backing, Vijay is poised to become the Chief Minister. Sengottaiyan also confirmed the party's hardline stance on alliances at a separate meeting in Namakkal, asserting that TVK will only collaborate with parties that accept Vijay as the Chief Ministerial candidate.

This public meeting serves as a high-profile platform for the party's electoral preparations, signaling the beginning of the candidate selection process and rallying its growing support base.
