The Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) has announced the cancellation of actor C. Joseph Vijay's campaign scheduled for April 6, 2026, in the Villivakkam and T. Nagar Assembly constituencies in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. This decision stems from alleged restrictions imposed by the city police, which the party claims unfairly limit their campaign activities. TVK general secretary (election campaign management) Aadhav Arjuna stated that while the Returning Officer initially granted permission for a four-hour campaign in T. Nagar, it was abruptly reduced to just one hour due to police pressure. Arjuna expressed discontent over the perceived double standards, questioning whether similar restrictions apply to other political leaders such as Chief Minister M.K. Stalin and Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin. He indicated that TVK would seek intervention from the Election Commission of India to address these concerns regarding campaign freedoms.
