Actor-politician and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay’s growing “Vijay for PM” pitch has triggered criticism from the DMK and Congress after a Mood of the Nation survey placed him third among preferred prime ministerial choices. The survey gave Vijay 9.2% support, behind Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. TVK leaders and supporters amplified the result, fuelling speculation about Vijay’s national ambitions ahead of the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. DMK leaders dismissed the campaign, while Congress leaders stressed their support for Rahul Gandhi as the INDIA bloc’s prime ministerial face. (PC: India Today)
