Vijay Aspires to Become Chief Minister

Party members and cinema admirers from the Tenkasi region are preparing to march to Tiruchendur to offer prayers seeking TVK’s victory in the upcoming assembly elections and Vijay’s rise as Chief Minister. Each year during Sankranti, devotees of Lord Muruga from Thoothukudi, Tirunelveli, Tenkasi, and Virudhunagar districts undertake a padayatra to the Senthil Andavar temple in Tiruchendur.

Against this background, TVK Tenkasi Central District Secretary Rajaprakash, along with party workers and supporters, began observing the ritual vow for the padayatra a few days ago. The group is planning to commence the pilgrimage walk to Tiruchendur on Thursday morning.a
