The political drama is heating up in Tamil Nadu! On Sunday, the Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK), headed by the famous actor-politician Vijay, raised their voices loud and clear across the state. They are protesting against the special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls happening in the state. This revision is a big deal as it updates the list of voters ahead of the 2026 assembly elections. Even though Vijay himself did not take part in the street protests, his key leaders, including TVK state general secretary N Anand and senior leader Aadhav Arjuna, led the charge in Chennai. N Anand fired a powerful statement: “This protest is not just for a small demand. But it is being held to place it on record that through the SIR exercise, the voting rights of people are removed.” Quite a bold claim! This protest comes just days after the ruling party, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), slammed the Election Commission of India's decision to conduct the SIR now, so close to the upcoming elections. But here's the twist: TVK fired back at the DMK too. Aadhav Arjuna asked a sharp question during the Chennai protest, “Why is the DMK not passing a resolution against SIR in the legislative state assembly?” The DMK didn’t hold back either. They pointed fingers at the TVK for missing the big all-party meeting held on November 2, which included 44 parties from Tamil Nadu. Opposition parties like AIADMK and BJP also skipped the meeting. Senior DMK leader TKS Elangovan fired back, saying, “The DMK is fighting this legally and on the ground. If Vijay is concerned about SIR, why did TVK skip the all-party meeting to discuss how to fight it?” Adding fuel to the fire, the DMK moved the Supreme Court against the SIR process and marched in protests with their allies from the Secular Progressive Alliance (SPA) and the INDIA bloc on November 14. Meanwhile, the main opposition AIADMK and their ally BJP have thrown their support behind the SIR. But Vijay remains cautious. He warns that this massive exercise risks the voting rights of 6 crore voters ahead of the elections. On November 15, Vijay released a video asking, “There is a lot of confusion among the people regarding this SIR process. Our party volunteers must ensure that the enumeration forms reach the general public. The people of Tamil Nadu must gather in huge numbers in front of the polling booths.” The Election Commission of India (ECI) fired back with some stats on the same day: 5.9 crore enumeration forms have been distributed across 234 assembly constituencies in Tamil Nadu, covering 92.04% of voters, they said. But the BJP took a swipe at Vijay too. Their senior leader Tamilisai Soundararajan said, “Instead of protesting today, Vijay could have used this strength to help people fill forms for SIR.” And they reminded Vijay of Prashant Kishor’s loss in Bihar as a lesson. With this political tug-of-war growing intense, the people of Tamil Nadu watch closely, wondering how this special revision will affect their rights when the crucial 2026 assembly polls arrive. The stage is set for a colorful showdown!
