Thalapathy Vijay To Embark On Padayatra

The impact of "padayatras" (foot marches) in Indian politics is undeniable, with leaders like YS Rajasekhar Reddy and Jagan Mohan Reddy achieving significant success through them. This strategy has also been employed by Nara Chandrababu Naidu and Lokesh, demonstrating its effectiveness in connecting with voters.

Now, speculation is swirling about whether Tamil superstar Vijay will follow in their footsteps, potentially launching a padayatra as part of his political ambitions. He has already entered direct politics by establishing the Tamilaga Vetrikalagam Party, gearing up for the 2026 elections. While his strategy – going solo or forming alliances – remains unclear, his dedication to reaching the people is evident.

Kollywood media has begun to spread the idea of a Vijay padayatra, with reports suggesting the party aims to establish 30 divisions and create posts for two lakh people. Vijay has already requested the Election Commission to allocate an election symbol to his party, eagerly awaiting their decision. Once that clarity emerges, a large-scale meeting with activists and fans is planned to discuss the party's vision and principles.

If Vijay does embark on a padayatra, it would be a bold move, potentially shaking up Tamil Nadu's political landscape. While many actors have entered politics, none have achieved power through a padayatra. Vijay's potential foray into this strategy, mirroring the success of YS Rajasekhar Reddy, raises intriguing questions about his political ambitions and the impact it could have on the upcoming elections.
