Chennai: Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) coordinator Senthamizhan Seeman on Saturday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of making deliberate moves to bring actor-turned-politician Vijay into its political fold, while sharply criticising the political blame game surrounding the recent Karur stampede tragedy.

Speaking to reporters at Tiruchendur, Seeman said the BJP’s actions showed an effort to “drag Vijay into an alliance.” “It is clear the BJP is working in favour of Vijay. Even when the Karur meeting happened, we congratulated Vijay for entering politics. But now, the way parties are trying to use the tragedy for political advantage is disturbing,” he said.

Seeman pointed out that while Vijay had been provided special security at Annamalai’s request, he himself was denied protection.
