CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: In what could be seen as a major political statement by actor-politician Vijay, Thalapathy came out with an acerbic criticism of the major political parties in Tamil Nadu, saying the state needs good leaders.
During a function in Chennai to facilitate Class X and XII students who have fared well in the exams, Vijay asked them to work hard to be successful in the areas of their interest.
Vijay claimed that what Tamil Nadu needs is not good doctors, engineers or lawyers but good leaders.
“People who study well should enter politics, that’s what I wish for,” Vijay said and asked students not to believe everything they see on social media.
He said he is not speaking about political leaders alone, but leaders in every sector.
Why shouldn’t politics be a career option, Vijay sought to know.
Vijay urged them to realize the false propaganda that the political parties are coming out with and differentiate between right and wrong before they choose their leaders.
Vijay also came out strongly against the drug mafia in the state and made the students take resolution saying ‘Say no to drugs. say no to temporary pleasures’.
Vijay observed that the usage of drugs has increased in the state, especially among youngsters, and added that as a parent and political leader, he is sacred.
He said he does not want to blame the government for this menace and urged students to be responsible for protecting themselves.
