Coimbatore, April 14 Actor-turned-politician Vijay is set to intensify his election campaign in Tiruppur on Tuesday evening, canvassing support for candidates of his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), across eight key Assembly constituencies.

According to party sources, Vijay will campaign in Tiruppur North, Tiruppur South, Avinashi, Palladam, Kangayam, Dharapuram, Udumalpet, and Madathukulam constituencies as part of a high-energy outreach programme aimed at consolidating support ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.

Vijay is scheduled to depart from Chennai by flight and arrive in Coimbatore earlier in the day. From there, he will travel by road to Avinashi, where the main leg of his campaign will begin. At around 3 p.m., he will kick off a roadshow from the Attayampalayam division, standing atop a specially arranged campaign vehicle. The roadshow will pass through key areas, including the old bus stand and new bus stand zones in Avinashi, where Vijay is expected to address the public and appeal for votes in support of TVK candidates.

Following this, the campaign convoy will proceed along the national highway to Perumanallur, where he will continue his outreach activities.

The final stretch of the roadshow will extend up to Pooluvapatti, covering densely populated pockets and commercial areas. Throughout the route, Vijay will interact with supporters, party workers, and the general public, seeking to energise the party’s grassroots base in the region.

Authorities have granted conditional permission for the campaign between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m., with strict guidelines in place to ensure public safety and order.

In view of the large crowds expected, extensive police security arrangements have been deployed across Avinashi, Perumanallur, Pooluvapatti, and surrounding areas. Senior police officials are closely monitoring the situation to prevent any untoward incidents.

Meanwhile, in a sudden development, TVK announced the cancellation of Vijay’s scheduled campaign programme in Dharmapuri later in the day, despite prior approval from the Election Commission.

The unexpected move has left party volunteers surprised, with no official reason immediately disclosed.

With high public anticipation surrounding his appearances, Vijay’s Tiruppur campaign is expected to draw significant attention in the ongoing electoral battle.
