Vijay Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam Party Gets Whistle Symbol from Election Commission

The Central Election Commission has allotted the 'whistle' symbol to Tamil film star Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam party, ahead of the Tamil Nadu assembly elections. The party had approached the EC in November, seeking a symbol for its campaign. Vijay's party had submitted a list of seven symbols, but all were already in use. They then proposed three original symbols, and the 'whistle' was chosen.

The Whistle symbol is expected to resonate with fans, given Vijay's hit film 'Bigil', where the whistle was a key theme. The 'whistle' symbol is seen as a powerful emblem, particularly among Vijay's young supporters. It references the film's theme of standing up against injustice and is linked to another hit song, 'Whistle Podu'.

The party's leader, CTR Nirmal Kumar, said Vijay personally preferred the whistle symbol from the designs shown to him. The allotment of the symbol has energized Vijay's fans and supporters, who see it as a sign of the party's potential to bring change. With the elections approaching, Vijay's party is gearing up for a strong campaign, despite facing challenges and controversies, including a CBI probe into a stampede at one of his rallies.

Vijay has been vocal about his political stance, calling the ruling DMK his political enemy and the BJP his ideological enemy, and has ruled out alliances with the BJP. The party's next steps are eagerly awaited, as it prepares to take on established players in the Tamil Nadu political arena.
