Tamil Nadu CM Vijay to visit Tiruchirappalli to thank voters

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay will visit Tiruchirappalli to address a public meeting to thank the voters during his maiden visit on Monday.

He is scheduled to visit the city in the evening and ahead of his trip, the police have enforced traffic diversions.

Since Vijay-led Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam came to power, several AIADMK members, including four legislators switched loyalty and joined the TVK. A large number of AIADMK functionaries,



including a leader are expected to join the ruling party.

The sudden shift reflects a statewide crisis in the AIADMK post Assembly election in which the Dravidian party was relegated to third position, managing to win only 47 MLAs. Four of them joined the TVK barely hours after resigning as MLAs.

Former state minister Dr C Vijayabaskar, who held a consultation with his supporters last week has said that he would soon announce the next course of political action.
