While police had granted permission for the events, the party alleged that the time allocated to travel between the two locations was insufficient, news agency ANI reported quoting party sources.Citing these restrictions, Vijay decided to cancel the campaign for the day, adding that TVK is likely to approach the Election Commission over the issue. An official statement from the party is awaited.Tamil Nadu will vote in a single phase on April 23, with counting scheduled for May 4.The main contest is expected between the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK)-led Secular Progressive Alliance (SPA)—which includes Congress, DMDK and VCK—and the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by AIADMK with the BJP and PMK as allies.Actor-turned-politician Vijay is set to make his electoral debut with TVK and is aiming to position the party as a third force in the state.Earlier on Saturday, Vijay launched a sharp attack on established alliances during a rally in Puducherry, calling the AINRC-BJP combine “tired” and the DMK-Congress alliance “confused”.“There are 2 alliances in Puducherry… In Tamil Nadu, DMK-Congress is a confused alliance. Similarly, here too it continues to be a confused alliance. Similarly, there is an NR Congress-BJP alliance. It is not a united alliance. It is a tired alliance. Why hasn’t this alliance granted statehood to Puducherry? If we come to power, we will do our best to secure statehood,” said Vijay.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

(Photo: IANS) NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday extended warm greetings to party workers on the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Foundation Day, lauding their dedication and reaffirming the party’s commitment to development and public welfare.In a post on X, PM Modi said the party has consistently upheld the principle of “India First” and remains at the forefront of serving society. He praised BJP workers for their selfless service, grassroots outreach, and commitment to good governance, while remembering those whose sacrifice and perseverance contributed to the party’s growth.”Warm greetings to all BJP Karyakartas across the nation on the party’s Sthapana Diwas. Our Party has always been at the forefront of serving society, guided by the principle of India First. Our Karyakartas are known for their selfless service, unwavering dedication and a deep passion towards good governance. They have worked tirelessly at the grassroots, ensuring maximum people are connected to our ideology and work. We also remember the countless workers whose dedication, sacrifice and perseverance have shaped the party’s growth over decades,” said PM Modi. “The BJP stands as a party that places well-being of people at the centre of its vision. This is reflected in our work at the Centre and in various states. BJP remains committed to building a Viksit Bharat. May our collective resolve continue to drive this vision forward and take India to new heights of progress and prosperity,” he added.Senior leaders also marked the occasion, highlighting the party’s ideological roots and evolution into what they described as the world’s largest political organisation.Union home minister Amit Shah said the BJP’s formation was not just a political development but a pledge for national reconstruction, inspired by Shyama Prasad Mukherjee and Deendayal Upadhyay. He added that under PM Modi’s leadership, the party has advanced the vision of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas” and strengthened democratic governance.BJP president J. P. Nadda paid tribute to the party’s founding figures and workers, saying their efforts had elevated the organisation to the forefront of national politics. He emphasised the party’s focus on “Antyodaya” and inclusive development, and reiterated its goal of building a developed, self-reliant India by 2047.Union ministers Kiren Rijiju and Nitin Gadkari also extended greetings, crediting the dedication of party workers for the BJP’s growth into a major political force.Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath described the BJP as more than a political party, calling it a “vibrant ideological tradition” rooted in democratic values and cultural ethos. He said the party’s journey reflects a commitment to service, values, and nation-building.Founded in 1980 after splitting from the Janata Party, the BJP traces its origins to the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, established in 1951 by Shyama Prasad Mukherjee. Over the decades, it has emerged as one of India’s प्रमुख national parties, centred on nationalism and development.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosGreen Asha Transit Marks Key Moment, Only One Lpg Tanker Left In The RegionIran FM Araghchi Calls Jaishankar As Hormuz Tensions SpikeDRDO Begins Work On Next-Generation Missile To Replace Prithvi Series : Reports“Adani Is BJP’s Financial Structure”: Rahul Gandhi Tears Into PM ModiPakistan To Return $3.5 Billion UAE Debt In April Despite Reserve StrainOil India Posts Record Crude Output From Rajasthan’s Thar Desert Amid West Asia Crisis‘True Friendship’: Iran Envoy Lauds India Ties, Clarifies Deleted Thank You PostsPM Modi Assures No Seat Cut For Southern States, Pushes Women’s Quota Bill‘Will Take It To Kolkata’: Pak Minister Khawaja Asif’s Fresh Threat After Rajnath’s Stern WarningBig Reveal: ISI Behind Chandigarh Attack, Global Terror Links Surface123Photostories7 foods that can give you 20g of protein without chicken or protein powder”I thought I was healthy,” until a routine test revealed early liver damage: Warning signs people miss and simple changes that helped reverse itTop 10 high-fibre foods that aren’t vegetables10 home names inspired by cultural symbols and their meanings7 easy tips to keep your home smelling pleasant naturally10 animals that seem to “kiss” like humans but each behaviour has a completely different meaningFrom Kanjeevaram to Bandhani:A complete 28-state saree guide of IndiaBaby names inspired by colorsSummer Meal: How to make light and comforting Boondi Kadhi for dinnerFSSAI shares how much oil you should consume in a day and effective steps to track oil intake; easy zero-oil dishes inside123Hot PicksSophie CunninghamUpdated IPL Points TableStephen Curry MomLPG ShortageStephen CurryPublic holidays April 2026Bank Holidays AprilTop TrendingVenus WilliamsAsian Stocks TodayStrait of HormuzIPL 2026Saudi Arabia travel ban rulesToll PaymentIran Drone StrikeHailee SteinfeldSchool Holidays in AprilIran war news Apr 06, 2026, 09:54 IST
