CM Joseph Vijay Gets Rousing Reception In Pudukkottai

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay held a roadshow for about 50 km between Tiruchy airport and Pudukkottai, where he participated in a government function.

Earlier, Vijay offered prayers at the Murugan temple at Mathur on the Tiruchy-Pudukkottai national highway on way to Pudukkottai, along with his Cabinet colleagues Ramesh and Mohammed Parvez. 

A large gathering of men, women and youths assembled on either side of the road and gave a rousing reception to the Chief Minister by sprinkling flowers and showering him with towels with TVK



colours.

At Thodaimanallur, a large group of TVK volunteers forcibly entered the Chief Minister’s convoy, breaking the heavy police security. Following this, the Chief Minister’s van moved very slowly till the police removed the TVK volunteers. 

There was some drama as the venue of the Chief Minister’s function was originally arranged at the armed reserve police ground with all arrangements but was shifted to the Collector's office complex Sunday night. One of the reasons stated was the threat of rain. Another reason was opposition from the DMK.
