I will be Vijay’s mentor just like I was Jayalalithaa’s: Sengottaiyan

Tamil Nadu: K.A. Sengottaiyan, chief coordinator of the party’s State Executive Committee, said he would mentor Vijay, just as he had mentored former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa.
Then the Thaveka winner gave a warm welcome to K.A. Sengottaiyan, who arrived in Gopi from Chennai on Friday evening.
He then said: “First, we rallied with MGR and won. Then, we rallied with Jayalalithaa and won. No force can stop Vijay, a third-generation Thaveka leader, from becoming Chief Minister in 2026 with the power of the people.”
He asked if he could meet Vijay, the Thaveka Thalaivar. But Vijay spent 15 minutes draping shawls and hugging the people who accompanied him.
Should the ruling party rule? We need to create a new generation to serve the people well. If you act in a film, you’ll get 500 crore rupees. But Vijay has entered politics to serve the people, saying there’s no need for this.
If MGR, whom I kept in my pocket for 50 years, had changed Jayalalithaa’s photos, they would have called him a traitor. Thavakavil is so democratic that it wouldn’t ban the use of Jayalalithaa’s photo. There is no betrayal in Thavakavil. We protect the Dharma in Thavakavil. I will be Thavaka leader Vijay’s guide, just as I was Jayalalithaa’s.
Someone named Gopi (Edappadi Palaniswami) is coming on the 30th. I proposed him as Chief Minister and General Secretary. I gave him the opportunity I had. But he removed me, saying he shouldn’t even be a regular volunteer.
A strong alliance will be formed by December. No one can stop our victory, he said.
Vijay will provide a peaceful government.
Earlier, on Friday, he told reporters arriving at the airport from Chennai that Thavaiga leader Vijay has the power of the people.
A landslide victory in the 2026 Legislative Assembly elections is certain. Party leader Vijay will ascend to the throne. He will ensure a pious and peaceful rule in Tamil Nadu.
He said Vijay’s policy is to provide homes to everyone and uplift everyone economically.
