A functionary of the Bahujan Samaj Party BSP submitted a representation to the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) objecting to certain features in the flag of Thalapathy Vijay Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK).
Complaint centres on the use of elephants in Vijay’s party flag, a symbol the BSP claims holds significant sentimental value for their party.
BSP representative, who filed the complaint against Vijay emphasised the longstanding association between BSP and elephant symbol as he said: We have been using our election symbol, elephant, in our flags and as our symbol. Blue flag and elephant are BSP’ national identity.

BSP demanded that elephants be removed from the party’s flag. The leaders forwarded the complaint to the Chief Electoral Officer of the state. TVK flag has a red and yellow vaka flower and two elephants on either side. Last February, Vijay announced the party under the name Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam.
For this, party general secretary Bassi Anand registered the party with the Election Commission of Delhi. In the statement released, Vijay said that his target is the Tamil Nadu assembly elections to be held in 2026. Vijay released the party flag and a song introducing the party flag recently.
