Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam to boycott Erode East bypoll
Actor-turned-politician Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam announced its decision on Friday to boycott Erode (East) bypoll set to be held on Feburary 5.
The by-election to the seat was necessitated after the death of sitting MLA and senior Congress leader EVKS Elangovan last month.
Making the announcement, TVK General Secretary N Anand said, “Past history has made us realize that in Tamil Nadu usually ruling government will use full muscle power, without following democratic principles, to win bypoll. Based on this TVK will boycott the Erode (East) bypoll similar to Vikravandi bypoll. Also no support to any party”
Earlier, AIADMK, DMDK and BJP also announced their decisions to boycott the polls.
