Election Commission clears whistle symbol for Vijay’s TVK

The EC has allotted ‘whistle’ as the symbol for actor-politician Vijay’s TVK, and enthusiastic party workers have launched efforts to popularise it across the state, senior leader CTR Nirmal Kumar said on Thursday.

The whistle symbol was the ‘priority’ choice preferred by Vijay from a list of 10 symbols proposed, Kumar, joint general secretary of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, said.

Incidentally, one of



actor Vijay’s hit songs is “whistle podu” (play the whistle) from his 2024 film GOAT, which had some references to his then planned political foray.

He had also acted in a film titled ‘Bigil’, which also means whistle.

“The overall expectation and desire of the people of Tamil Nadu is that our leader should become the Chief Minister. As a first step, this symbol has been given,” Kumar told reporters here.
