Is Stalin taking revenge?' Actor Vijay alleges stampede is an act of revenge, DMK hits back

National News:  A massive rally in Karur turned into horror. Forty-one lives were lost when a stampede broke out during actor and politician Vijay’s program. The sudden chaos left hundreds injured. Families across Tamil Nadu are mourning their loved ones. Prime Minister Narendra Modi offered his condolences soon after the news broke. State Chief Minister M.K. Stalin also expressed grief and assured help to the families. The tragedy has shaken confidence in crowd management at political events. The loss is being called one of the darkest days in recent years.

Actor Vijay releases statement

Actor Vijay, who now leads a political party, broke his silence through a video message. His face showed visible pain as he called the incident heartbreaking. Vijay said he always prioritized public safety during events. He explained that permissions were properly taken for the rally. He expressed deep sorrow and promised to meet affected families personally. At the same time, he pointed out that an FIR was unfairly filed against him. According to him, he did nothing wrong.

Allegations of political revenge

Vijay went a step further by calling the FIR an act of revenge. Without naming Chief Minister Stalin directly, he questioned if politics was being played over dead bodies. His remarks triggered huge controversy. Supporters believe Vijay is being framed to damage his growing political career. Opponents claim he is avoiding responsibility by blaming others. The issue has quickly taken center stage in Tamil Nadu politics. What began as a tragedy has now become a political battleground.

DMK responds strongly back

The ruling DMK was quick to hit back. Party leaders said Vijay’s comments were baseless. They accused him of trying to gain sympathy instead of owning responsibility. DMK spokespersons pointed out that safety measures are the organizers’ duty. They stressed that government authorities cannot be blamed for lapses at a private rally. The war of words has now intensified between DMK and Vijay’s party. Both sides are exchanging accusations daily. The heated exchange has drawn attention on national television debates.

Public anger grows louder

Among ordinary people, anger is boiling. Families of victims demand justice and accountability. Many blame poor planning and crowd mismanagement at the rally. Social media is filled with videos and heated discussions. Hashtags demanding action trended across platforms within hours. Supporters of Vijay defend him fiercely, while critics hold him guilty. The tragedy has divided public opinion sharply. For many families, the politics does not matter-they just want justice for their loved ones.

Political stakes get higher

The timing of this controversy is crucial. Tamil Nadu is heading into a politically sensitive phase. Vijay’s entry into politics had already rattled established parties. Now, the stampede has given rivals an opportunity to attack him. DMK sees it as a chance to question his leadership ability. For Vijay, how he manages this crisis will define his future as a leader. Political observers say the fallout could be long-lasting. The entire episode may reshape the state’s political landscape.

Uncertain road ahead

For now, the case remains under investigation. Police have registered an FIR, and questions are being asked daily. Vijay continues to deny wrongdoing and insists on his innocence. DMK refuses to soften its stand, accusing him of irresponsibility. The political storm shows no signs of slowing down. At the same time, families of victims struggle with unbearable grief. The Karur stampede is no longer just a tragedy—it is now a test of leadership and accountability. How justice unfolds will be closely watched.
