His remarks came at a time when Vijay has been dominating political discussions following his remarkable electoral performance and subsequent rise to Chief Minister. During his speech, Kalyan infused humor while discussing Tamil Nadu's political dynamics, expressing envy over how TVK effortlessly captured public attention.

Referring to Vijay's campaign strategies, Kalyan noted that Vijay utilized cutouts and holograms to secure victory, while he himself spent years building his political base from the ground up.
