Deccan Alert | EC Allocates 'Whistle Symbol' to Actor Vijay's TVK Party for Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections

In a significant decision, the Election Commission has allotted the “whistle symbol” as the general symbol for actor Vijay’s political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam(TVK), in the upcoming Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu. The poll body made this announcement on Thursday, following the formation of a 12-member committee by Vijay to coordinate election campaign activities at the district and constituency levels for the forthcoming polls.

On January 16, Vijay, known for his popular roles in Tamil cinema, initiated steps to enter politics by constituting this committee to oversee the party’s election campaign efforts in the state of Tamil Nadu. The allocation of a symbol by the Election Commission signifies the formal recognition of Vijay’s political party ahead of the Assembly elections slated for later this year.

The specific date and schedule for the Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu have yet to be announced by the Election Commission. As more details emerge, it is expected that further developments will shape the political landscape of the state.
