As Vijay’s suit and lunchbox trends, Udhayanidhi Stalin says everything’s ‘reels with him’ | Tamil News

2 min readHyderabadJun 18, 2026 06:12 PM IST A month into Tamil Nadu’s first non-Dravidian government in over five decades, the conversation around Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay’s administration is still dominated by his wardrobe and his lunchbox rather than his policies. Hashtags have been trending on X over posts about the cost of his suit and what he eats for lunch, prompting DMK leader and Leader of Opposition Udhayanidhi Stalin to renew his criticism that the TVK government remains stuck in campaign mode, treating governance as content rather than addressing the state’s pressing issues.

As many said, the conspiracy around the Karur incident, and the fact that my final film Jana Nayagan could not be released. What if it made our close-to-heart relationship even stronger? And what if that film became a powerful weapon in the elections? As a brother, son, as your Vijay, I am fighting for your justice. I need justice as well,” Vijay told the crowd. Vijay reiterated that he had stepped away from a life …
