The stage is set for the second State conference of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) at Parapathi on the Madurai-Thoothukudi Highway.
Huge cut-outs of DMK founder C.N. Annadurai and AIADMK founder M.G. Ramachandran, along with that of TVK leader Vijay, who is due to address the conference, have been placed on the facade of the stage at the venue, decked up with red and yellow party flags.
Accompanying the cut-outs of the former Chief Ministers are the words, “Varalaru Thirumbukirathu” (History Repeats), and 1967 and 1977 — the years when the DMK and the AIADMK, respectively, had come to power in the State.
The mention of the year 2026 along with 1967 and 1977 is meant to underline the aspiration of the fledgling political party to capture power in Tamil Nadu at the next Assembly election.
