In a significant development for Tamil Nadu politics, TVK chief coordinator KA Sengottayan declared Wednesday his intent to fight the 2026 assembly elections from Gobi Chettipalayam, submitting nomination on February 6.
Fresh from inaugurating TVK’s Vellankovil office near the constituency, he motivated local units, vowing comprehensive poll readiness.
Sengottayan rubbished crossover tales from AIADMK’s Rasipuram event, exposing flag-wavers as opposition plants. He attributed TVK’s rise to surging public faith, dismissing defection whispers.
Backing Vijay against dance-performance flak at the anniversary bash, he explained it as a spontaneous bhajan response, decrying inconsistent criticism of leaders’ expressions.
He pledged steadfast allegiance to Vijay, signaling imminent statewide mobilization drives. Dindigul Srinivasan’s murky fund claims were labeled fiction, with warnings against poll-time mudslinging.
Alliance specifics? Sengottayan played it close, calling non-disclosure savvy strategy. On Sitharaman’s BJP vote immunity claim, he countered: ‘Verdicts will verify.’
This high-profile contest positions TVK to capture western strongholds, challenging incumbents and fostering a dynamic 2026 battleground where TVK could tip scales decisively.
