Separate department needed for women, children, elderly: Vijay

"Women will play a vital role in my political journey," said Vijay, recalling that the suicide of Ariyalur student Anitha in 2017 raised many questions within him. He said he wants to do something for the many girl children who call him 'Vijay anna' (brother) out of love. “I’m your brother, your son; your Vijay has come to the political field. I’m one of you,” he said. Vijay emphasized that a separate department is needed to focus on women, children, and the elderly. He also stressed that proportional representation based on the caste census is the only solution to provide social justice for all.
