BJP Tamil Nadu chief urges actor Vijay to intervene as state called ‘Kerala’s dumping ground’

Tamil Nadu's Bharatiya Janata Party state president publicly alleged that the neighboring state of Kerala is using Tamil Nadu as a dumping ground for its waste. The comment was made during a press interaction where the BJP chief highlighted growing environmental concerns linked to cross‑border waste disposal.
He specifically called upon popular Tamil film star Vijay, whose public influence is considerable, to step in and help resolve the issue. The leader suggested that Vijay's intervention could facilitate dialogue between the two states and curb the alleged dumping activities.
The remarks have added a new dimension to the ongoing tension between Tamil Nadu and Kerala over waste management. Both state governments have yet to issue an official response, and environmental officials are monitoring the situation closely.
Stakeholders anticipate that any mediation involving a high‑profile personality could pressure authorities to address the waste‑dumping allegations more transparently.
