The Tamil Nadu BJP spokesperson said that Vijay's call to Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam supporters echoes Karunanidhi's past pleas to DMK faithful. CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu BJP spokesperson and senior leader, ANS Prasad has charged that Tamil superstar-turned-politician, Vijay's priority was self-promotion and political branding over the welfare of his followers. In a hard hitting-statement, ANS Prasad said that Vijay failed to ensure basic amenities like safe drinking water, food, clean toilets and medical facilities for those who attended the rally even after making calls to supporters to “come safely and create political history.
” Prasad asked, “Why were attendees neglected in such an unsafe and unsanitary manner?” He said though Vijay arranged for luxurious accommodations in seven caravans for himself, his family, and special guests, he neglected the welfare of the thousands of common people who attended the rally, considering him as one of their own. He said that while Vijay claimed that around 3,00,000 people attended the rally, only 10,000 chairs were provided. He said that Vijay organised everything as a grand political spectacle, focussing on stage set-up, venue preparation, and cut-outs of key leaders and Tamil kings – all geared toward political propaganda.
He charged that though Vijay meticulously plans everything in minute detail for his movies he didn't show the same concern for the attendees' welfare at the convention. He charged that many of those who attended.
