"It's our duty to convey our ideology to the people and introduce them to our ideological leaders, those who have tirelessly worked for the people of this soil," Vijay said as quoted by India Today.
"Yes, Periyar is our ideological leader. Our party respects all religious beliefs, yet we uphold principles like womenās education, women empowerment, and social justice that Periyar advocated. These are the values we will carry forward," the actor-turned-politician said at a massive gathering.
Flagging secularism, Vijay was presented copies of Bhagavad Gita, Quran, the Bible and the Constitution by the party members.
Social justice, equality, democracy, two-language system, corruption-free administration, caste-based census are some of the other goals of the party as revealed by Vijay.
