Vijay alleges conspiracy in Karur tragedy, says this election should lead to a 'whistle revolution'

TVK chief Vijay on Thursday alleged a joint machination and conspiracy behind the tragic stampede in Karur as well as in the release of his final film Jananayagan, and said he too wanted justice in the Karur incident. The stampede left 41 people dead and several injured at a rally addressed by the actor-politician on September 27, 2025. Addressing an election rally after filing his nomination papers from the Tiruchirappalli East Assembly constituency, Vijay said, as many have been insisting, the Karur incident was "a joint machination." "I, who have come to ask justice for you, also want justice," the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam chief said, and also claimed a conspiracy over the release of his last film Jananayagan.
