Stating that TVK's aim is to be the primary force in the state, Vijay said there is no looking back and each step will follow political decency and decorum. "We are here with proper plan keeping in mind public interest and are power-packed. This is a mass gathering not for cash, but for a good cause," he said.

Although TVK's ideological leaders include Periyar EV Ramasamy, K Kamaraj, BR Ambedkar, Velu Nachiyar and Anjalai Ammal, Vijay said he doesn't agree with atheistic principles of Periyar.
"Like Aringar Anna, we believe there is only one mankind and one God. We will take forward Periyar's views on women education, women development, social reform, social justice and rationalist thoughts," he said. Vijay also said the TVK is the only party to announce women as its ideological leaders.
