N Rangasamy meeting with Actor Vijay was to seek the latter's support through Vijay Makkal Iyakkam (VMI) as BJP would quit the alliance and takeover the CM post, said a source. The meeting was arranged by Bussy Anand , ex MLA of NR Congress and head of VMI. NR got wind of the move as soon BJP cut ties with AIADMK in Tamil Nadu urban polls. NR knew that next would be his CM chair and if he refused, he and is party would be shown the door.
As AIADMK might go with BJP in Pondy, NR is not sure whether DMK - Cong would back him. BJP would also take away NR MLA\s too in a defection. In this scenario, a midterm poll will happen/ The backing of VMI will be the boost that NR can get. Many MLA\s might think twice if VMI is backing NR. Reasons to bank on VMI is based on recent events.
During the shooting of `Master', fans turned up from areas in Pondy- Cuddalore - Karaikal for the shoot in Neyveli. It was around that time the Income Tax people came to the spot and asked Vijay to come with them for questioning. Fans saw it as a BJP move and turned violent. Entire stretch from Pondy to Neyveli was packed with VMI workers in lorries. Police had to lathi charge the crowd. Fans were injured and Vijay at the audio function in filmy style said with a pointed finger that he would not sit quiet if his fans were hurt.
Till date in Puducherry, no event has got the crowds or witnessed the hysteria like when Vijay and his wife came for Anand's daughter wedding. VMI won 100 councilors in the local body polls and has put around 200 candidates for upcoming poll in Tamil Nadu.
VMI victory was a surprise for decade old Seeman's political outfit MTK and Kamal's new outfit , both which drew a blank.
