The latest episode of Talking Sense With Srini examines Vijay’s Assembly debut, his conduct in the House and whether the TVK govt is still on a learning curve
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay’s maiden speech in the state Assembly has turned into a political talking point, with his references to the ED and MISA triggering Opposition walkouts, some DMK MLAs being evicted, and a chin gesture apparently aimed at former Chief Minister MK Stalin becoming the most viral moment of the session. Vijay has since said the gesture was unintentional.
In the latest episode of Talking Sense With Srini, the flagship YouTube program of The Federal, Editor-in-Chief S Srinivasan discusses whether Vijay’s Assembly debut was political performance or political theatre and whether the new government is still on a learning curve when it comes to the structures and processes of parliamentary politics.
