Actor and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) president Vijay hit out at the DMK government for allegedly failing to control drugs in the state and probed whether leaders with good education should come to politics.

He also stressed the need to have good leaders and leadership qualities.

Speaking at an event after felicitating students, Vijay said, "We need good leaders. Leaders in the sense I am not saying politically. Whatever you are doing, you need leadership quality that is what I am saying".

He said, "Even politics should be a career option in future. That is my wish. Do you think with good education leaders should come to politics?".

Asking the students to cross-check every bit of information coming their way, Vijay said, " Social media channels and mainstream media show us many things. See everything but analyse what is right and wrong".

"Then only one can understand the real issues of our nation, and people and be able to understand social evils. If one knows these things without trusting a few political parties, and fake campaigning, you all will get global-level broad thoughts to elect good leaders. There won't be any bigger politics than this," he told students.

Expressing his concern over the use of drugs among youngsters in Tamil Nadu, Vijay said, "In recent times in Tamil Nadu, drugs have become familiar among youngsters. As a political leader and as a parent even I am scared. We can say controlling drugs is the government's responsibility, saving youngsters is the government's responsibility and the present ruling government has failed to do that".

"I am not here to speak about that and even this is not a stage for that. More than the government we have to take care of ourselves. Please all repeat. Say no to drugs. Say no to temporary pleasure. Take this as an oath," Vijay said. (ANI)
