Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin hit out at actor-politician Vijay on October 2, calling him a ‘Reels CM’. Stalin said Vijay should ‘behave like a Chief Minister, not a cheap minister’. The remarks came during campaigning for the Dharapuram bypoll. Voting is set for October 6. The DMK has fielded S. Suganya as its candidate. Vijay’s party, the TVK, is seen as the ruling party’s main challenger. Vijay is one of Tamil cinema’s biggest stars. He launched his political party last year. His entry has shaken up the state’s politics. Stalin accused him of doing politics for social media. The bypoll is seen as a test of strength for both sides. Campaigning has been intense. The result could signal which way the wind is blowing ahead of the next assembly election. Vijay has not responded to the jibe yet, but his party says the bypoll will answer the chief minister.
