Riaz K Ahmed, PR of actor Vijay released an official note addressing why actor Vijay chose to reach the polling station in cycle. The tweet he posted said that the polling station was right next to his residence and the actor decided to go in cycle due to the narrow road which doesn’t have ample space for a car to travel or to park.

No hidden agenda behind the cycle.
