T.R.B. Rajaa: “Tamil Nadu will maintain its autonomy from Delhi”

T.R.B. Rajaa, the leader of the DMK IT wing and Tamil Nadus Industries Minister, has expressed skepticism regarding the potential political involvement of actor C. Joseph Vijay. In an interview with *The Hindu*, Rajaa discussed various topics, including his views on the upcoming Assembly elections and his track record in office. He emphasized the significance of political experience and effective governance, suggesting that celebrity status alone may not translate into political success. Rajaa’s remarks come amid ongoing discussions about the influence of film stars in regional politics, especially in Tamil Nadu, where several actors have transitioned into political roles in the past. The next Assembly elections are anticipated to be highly competitive, with various parties vying for voter support and strategies being devised for impactful campaigning.
