Actor and DMDK chief Vijayakanth passed awayat the age of 71 in a private hospital in Chennai. According to his party, he tested positive for Covid-19 and was placed on ventilator support. But according to the hospital’s statement, he had pneumonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to a hospital statement, Captain Vijayakanth was admitted with pneumonia and was receiving ventilator support. On December 28, 2023, in the morning, he passed away despite the medical staff’s greatest efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Tuesday, Vijaynath was brought to the hospital for a routine physical examination. The party said at the time that Vijayakanth was healthy and would go home following the examinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The DMDK chief had been admitted to the hospital earlier on November 20. He was in the hospital getting treatment for a respiratory ailment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vijayakanth’s public personality has been shaped by his triumphant work in the cinema business, encompassing 154 roles, and his later entry into politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to founding the DMDK, he held two terms as a member of the Legislative Assembly, representing the districts of Rishivandiyam and Virudhachalam. When he was appointed Leader of the Opposition in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly from 2011 to 2016, his political career reached its zenith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly elections of 2006, the DMDK made its electoral debut. By running its own independent campaign and winning a sizable number of seats, the party made a name for itself in the state’s political scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Captain’s party made history in the 2011 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly elections by defeating the DMK and taking the lead as the main opposition party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), which was led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the DMDK participated in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, although it was not very successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vijayakanth withdrew from active political activity in recent years due to health concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
