Chennai : A man died at Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay’s rally in Tamil Nadu’s Salem on Friday due to suffering from heatstroke. Police sources told India Today that dehydration was the primary reason behind the man’s death. The victim also suffered from heart ailments.
Police sources also told India Today that the TVK organisers allowed more than 7,000 people to enter the venue despite the maximum limit being 5,000. Reportedly, sick people were also allowed to enter the venue. Police sources added that once the reason behind the death is ascertained, an FIR will be filed against the organisers. Heavy police deployment, vehicle checks at each entry point, and traffic diversions were enforced to ensure public safety and keep overcrowding at bay.
The TVK chief said at the rally that his offer to share power with allies has become a demand in all alliances, turning out to be a “political bomb” in Tamil Nadu. In an exclusive interview with India Today, he said that the TVK will contest the forthcoming assembly elections independently, saying he was confident of forming a government with an absolute majority. TVK won’t join the INDIA bloc or the NDA before or after the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. I am fully assured that Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam will get a full majority and form the next government in the state,” he added.
TVK chief Vijay on Friday asserted that his offer to share power with allies has turned out to be a “political bomb” in Tamil Nadu as that has become a demand in all alliances and “rattled” DMK President and Chief Minister MK Stalin who has refused to share power with Congress. Assuring a social justice driven regime if voted to power, Vijay, addressing a rally at Seelanaickenpatti, here, said: “Do you remember my political bomb at the Vikravandi rally; offering to share power ? It is now exploding recklessly in all the alliances, CM Stalin sir is rattled and he says that power sharing will not suit Tamil Nadu.”
