It may be time for Thirumavalavan to lead alliance in 2031: VCK general secretary

A perception has emerged among the second-line leadership of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) that it may be appropriate for party president Thol. Thirumavalavan to work towards heading an alliance ahead of the next Assembly election in 2031.

On Monday, a video showed Mr. Thirumavalavan travelling on a black sedan car bearing the number plate “TN 07 CM 2031”. VCK treasurer S.S. Balaji said the social media was awash with “slander” after the video went viral. He clarified that the video was part of a shoot held for an event in EVP Film City on September 19.

VCK general secretary D. Ravikumar said it was his “personal opinion” that “time may perhaps be right for the VCK to face the 2031 election with Mr. Thirumavalavan as the Chief Ministerial candidate”.
