Dravidian ideologue and public speaker Nanjil Sampath on Friday joined actor-turned-politician Vijay’s Tamilaz Vettri Kazhagam (TVK).
He met Mr. Vijay at his residence and formally joined the party. Mr. Sampath told reporters that he was not associated with any political party for the past six years and joining TVK gave a new lease of life to his political career.
Mr. Sampath, who started his political career in the DMK, eventually became a close associate of MDMK General Secretary Vaiko. In 2012, he left the MDMK and joined the AIADMK. After the resignation of former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, Mr. Sampath was briefly associated with the faction led by TTV Dhinakaran.
