The leader of the Samagi Jana Balawegaya, Sajith Premadasa, offered his congratulations to the actor and politician Vijay as he embarks on a fresh chapter for the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. In a social media post, Sajith Premadasa noted that Vijay highlighted a new period grounded in secularism and social justice, while emphasizing the necessity of stability and fairness within a community.

He concluded by expressing hope that this political shift in Tamil Nadu fosters compassion and progress, bridging gaps where others previously sought to create division.
