Vijay’s TVK advances Madurai conference to Aug 21

CHENNAI: Actor Vijay’s Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) rescheduled its state conference in Madurai to Aug 21, advancing it by four days from the earlier announced date (Aug 25).

The change followed a request from the police department, which cited the need for force deployment across the district for Vinayagar Chathurthi celebrations starting August 27.

In an official statement released Monday, the party said police advised choosing any date between August 18 and 22 to ensure adequate bandobast.

Responding to this, TVK confirmed that the event would now be held in Madurai at 4 pm Aug 21 (Thursday). It will be held at the same venue in Parapatti village.

The party said preparations for the conference, which is expected to be a major show of strength, are already in full swing and have now been further expedited.

“The conference will take place with the same grandeur and with renewed energy,” the statement said, urging party members to attend responsibly and safely.

TVK originally chose Aug 25, which also marks the birth anniversary of actor and DMDK founder Vijayakanth, to host its key organisational event.
