"A 37-year-old man from Maharashtra died after reportedly suffering a heart attack during a political meeting held in Salem today. The deceased has been identified as Suraj (37), a native of Maharashtra. He had been residing in the Sevvaipettai area of Salem, where he was engaged in silver-related labour work. He was married and is survived by his wife and a child," Salem police officials said.

"According to sources, he had attended the TVK public meeting organised for party administrators as a spectator. 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," police added.

The latest death comes months after a stampede at a rally led by Vijay in Karur reportedly left nearly 40 people dead.

TVK chief Vijay on Friday 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, addressing a rally at Seelanaickenpatti, here, 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.
