Following the tragic Karur stampede, BJP has established communication with actor Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party, indicating strategic interest in leveraging his popularity for the 2026 Tamil Nadu elections. Both BJP and Congress are reaching out to TVK as national parties see an opportunity to gain ground in a state traditionally dominated by DMK and AIADMK. The political maneuvering comes amid shifting dynamics as parties position themselves against potential anti-incumbency sentiment toward the ruling DMK.
