A 37-year-old man from Maharashtra died due to a heart attack during a rally of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam chief Vijay’s rally in Tamil Nadu’s Salem.

The man, identified as Suraj, was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was declared dead.

“During the event, he suddenly collapsed. He was rushed for medical assistance, but was declared dead, reportedly due to a heart attack. Police are conducting further inquiries into the incident," the police said.

Vijay addressed a rally at Seelanaickenpatti in Salem in the run-up to the Assembly polls.

Vijay asserted that his offer to share power with allies has turned out to be a “political bomb" in Tamil Nadu as that has become a demand in all alliances and “rattled" DMK President and Chief Minister MK Stalin who has refused to share power with Congress.

Assuring a social justice-driven regime if voted to power, Vijay said: “Do you remember my political bomb at the Vikravandi rally; offering to share power? It is now exploding recklessly in all the alliances, CM Stalin sir is rattled and he says that power sharing will not suit Tamil Nadu. For the DMK, the alliance is only to win and for all other things, such as governance, they will be on their own."
