2 crore new members & women's participation is a target of Vijay's TVK

CHENNAI: Actor Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) on Monday discussed membership drive and urged its functionaries to work in unison and ensure to reach the target of two crore new members to the newborn party.

"As instructed by our party president Vijay, the membership camps to be conducted across the state; district wise and Assembly Constituency (AC) wise to strengthen the grassroot infrastructure of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam. I kindly urge all our Thozhargal to work in unison and ensure to reach the target of two crore new members to our party, " general secretary of TVK, N Anand said while addressing the district secretaries and other functionaries in the membership drive and party structure expansion meeting at the party headquarters in Panaiyur in the city.

"Vijay will soon announce an exclusive women-led membership wing to spearhead the membership drive. District and AC incharges of the party will also be appointed to coordinate with the women-led wing for carrying out the new membership drive," Anand said in a statement.

Further, the general secretary asked the functionaries to ensure that the general public including first-time and women voters become active members of the party.

The actor also urged the functionaries to identify and segregate different parties' affiliated and unaffiliated voters.

Unlike other parties, the general secretary of Vijay's party said, "Functionaries shall strive to adhere and bind them to the directions of our party president. The advisory note herein before - mentioned is equally applicable to the use and fixing of party notices, pamphlets, posters, flex boards, and digital banners on behalf of our party."

Meanwhile, following criticism over Thamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam's Tamil spelling, actor Vijay added an 'ik' as a conjunction to his party's name. This spell change will give the sound 'Vettrik' and not 'Vettri'.

Actor Vijay launched his political party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, earlier this month expressing his intention to fight the 2026 assembly polls.
