Dravidian & national parties have depoliticised youth, says political scientist Ramu Manivannan

Описание: Scores of youth and women attend political rallies and meetings addressed by TVK leader Vijay. Ahead of 2026 assembly polls in Tamil Nadu, he campaigns in various towns and addresses his party functionaries now and then. Some poll surveys say Vijay would take a big share of votes from youth, women and minorities. What makes young people align with Vijay? Can cinema stardom translate into political success in Tamil Nadu? Does he act as a full-time politician? In this interview, political scientist Ramu Manivannan argues that Vijay's biggest advantage right now is public curiosity, not proven political credibility. He explains why other parties hesitate to ally with TVK, the difference between fan clubs and political organisations, and why Tamil Nadu politics still demands ground-level work and ideological leadership. He also discusses why comparisons between Vijay and M. G. Ramachandran may be premature and how Vijay's party attracts youth while ideological politics declines among major parties. Watch the full interview for a deeper look at the changing political landscape in Tamil Nadu.
