TVK chief Vijay launches #GetOut campaign against DMK and BJP govts

CHENGALPATTU: Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) president Vijay on Wednesday launched a #GetOut signature campaign, aimed at condemning the ruling governments at both the State and Centre for their alleged anti-people policies, during the party's second anniversary celebration, which is being held at Poonjolai village of Chengalpattu district.

With the hashtag #GetOut (BJP and DMK), the campaign resolved to oust the state's DMK government and the BJP-led Union government, citing their failure to address the pressing concerns of the people of Tamil Nadu.

Describing the alleged alliance between the BJP and DMK as a destructive partnership, Vijay said, "One sings and the other dances in unison, symbolising the collusion between the two political giants in maintaining the status quo, which leaves the concerns of the common people unheard and unaddressed."

Calling for a collective movement to hold both governments accountable, he said, "Let us resolve to #GetOut the central and state governments for their imposition of the NEP 2020, and their opposition to addressing the critical grievances of the people."

The campaign also highlighted the rising political violence against ordinary citizens, the exploitation of labour, and the reckless depletion of natural resources, all of which serve the selfish interests of a select few.

Along with Vijay, the party's general secretaries, N Anand and Aadhav Arjuna, signed the #GetOut signature campaign, while political strategist Prashant Kishor chose not to sign.
