MIOT hospital issued an official statement stating that Vijayakanth's health condition has been unstable due to which he was put under pulmonary treatment and ventilator support.
His health condition has attracted the attention and sympathy of many people from the cinema and political circles, who have expressed their concern and support for the charismatic leader.
The DMK alliance is much ahead of rest of the parties as it has launched the campaign and announced Congress leader and former Union Minister EVKS Elangovan, the father of deceased MLA Thirumahan, as its candidate.
With Vijayakanth's ill health, the party's internal crisis, plummeting base, and lack of strong leadership, DMDK is now turning heads as the people are watching over what's next for the party.
The major announcement from Vijayakanth has come a day after the similar decision taken by the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) that it will contest the polls independently by exiting the ADMK alliance.
Vijayakanth had arrived at the Chennai airport in a wheelchair and in a video, he can be seen with a face cover as his assistants had taken him into the terminal.
