Refuting criticisms that he had launched ‘Thiruvalluvar Thirupayanam’ with a hidden political agenda, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Tarun Vijay said the only agenda in his mission was to bring to the fore whatever was hidden from north India about Saint Poet Thiruvalluvar and his couplets.

Mr. Vijay visited the memorial of Veeramangai Velu Nachiyar, the first 18th century Indian queen from this district, who fought the British in the freedom struggle. The MP also visited Kannadasan memorial house .
