Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and TVK leader Vijay resigns from the Tiruchirappalli East assembly constituency while retaining his Perambur seat, according to multiple reports. Vijay, an actor-turned-politician, contested the recent Tamil Nadu Assembly elections from two constituencies—Perambur and Tiruchirappalli East. After the election results, he resigns from Tiruchirappalli East and continues as the representative from Perambur.

One report notes that Vijay had already been sworn in and then made a public pledge as part of his political mandate. He says he aims to bring an era of “real, secular and social justice,” and frames his approach around being closely connected to ordinary people. He also emphasizes setting goals that he considers achievable and expresses confidence that collective efforts will help address challenges.

Across the sources, the central point is Vijay’s decision to step down from the Tiruchirappalli East seat and continue holding the Perambur constituency.
