Vijay’s win keeps Cong on the edge?

As Thalapathy marks his mega Tamil Nadu ‘Vijay’ and even passing the big final test (Tamil Nadu assembly floor test) shows new cards for Tamil Nadu’s fate. As Vijay commences his political journey as the Chief Minister, speculations have already started coming in surrounding his further political alignments.

Vijay’s camaraderie with Rahul on the day of his oath was under wide public eye. Rahul and Vijay had met back in 2009 during UPA government, at that time Vijay was only a film star with mellowed political ambitions. Rahul had invited him on dinner in Delhi. Vijay’s films themed around anti-establishment, corruption, injustice faced by ordinary people enabled him to tap into minds of people which helped him to acquire emotional public acceptance and shape political image from screen hero to sarkar hero, sources say Many young Congress leaders tried to bring Vijay politically closer due his strong hold over urban and youth voters, sources said However, there were also concerns that Vijay could become an independent political force rather than an ally, top source said.

If the turf war in AIADMK leads to more rebel elements joining Vijay’s TVK then it could significantly weaken Congress in Tamil Nadu by forming a strong non-Congress opposition bloc. Therefore, Congress leaders remain cautious considering many are comparing Vijay’s political blockbuster as a remake of Arvind Kejriwal’s rise. How both of them projected themselves as anti-establishments and challenged the traditional politics. We all have seen Kejriwal’s version where the climax was a flop, sources say. This is a major reason why Congress is still on the edge as they are unsure whether Vijay’s popularity can fully convert into a political success, top sources say.

Tamil Nadu politics may witness new alliance emerging, more hidden Brutus could be revealing themselves in greed of power, top source added.
