A video circulating online claims Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay announced his exit from the INDIA alliance and his entry into the NDA, but fact‑checking agency Newschecker has found the claim to be false.
A video shared on social media purports to show Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay declaring that he is quitting the INDIA bloc and joining the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). The clip quickly went viral, prompting speculation about a major political realignment in the southern state.
Newschecker, an independent fact‑checking organisation, examined the footage and the accompanying claims. Their investigation found no official statement, press release, or credible source confirming such an announcement. The video appears to be edited and does not contain any verifiable remarks from the chief minister.
The Tamil Nadu government has not responded to the claim, and no reputable news outlet has reported a shift in the state's alliance stance. As of now, the assertion remains unsubstantiated, and viewers are advised to treat the video as misinformation.
Fact‑checkers stress the importance of verifying political content before sharing, especially in a climate where false claims can influence public perception and electoral narratives.
