36 people have died in a stampede on Saturday (September 27, 2025) at the rally of Tamil Nadu Vatri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay in Karur district of Tamil Nadu. People who died include 16 women and eight children. At the same time, DMK has blamed TVK and party chief Vijay for this incident.
DMK spokesperson Sarvanan Annadurai said about this tragic incident, 'The scene of the parents clinging to his injured children is very frightening. This is incredible. The accident that has come to light, you cannot believe that so many children have died and the way their parents are mourning their death, that view is very much distracted.
Dmk Leader accused TV chief Vijay
The DMK leader has blamed actor -turned -leader Vijay and his rally organizers for this horrific accident. He has alleged that people were made waiting in the sun for hours. He said, 'The real truth behind this terrible accident is that this was the well-planned trick of the organizers of this program. Vijay had made it clear that the program should start at 8:45 am. But he did not start at 8:45. People were made waiting for about six hours. They were all present there. So why was this done? This was done so that the crowd gathered in maximum number. This was the cheap trick of the organizers of Vijay and that is why it is now a case of criminal negligence.
Vijay's rallies are surrounded by questions- DMK leaders
The DMK leader insisted, 'Whoever is found responsible for this incident, should be arrested immediately and Vijay is guilty for this. They cannot avoid their responsibility. He said, 'This is not the first time Vijay's rallies have come under question. He wants to become the Chief Minister of the state, but is not ready to follow the rules, it is a matter of shame.
