Tamil Nadu journalist bodies have condemned actor-turned-politician Vijayakanth for spitting at reporters during an interaction on Sunday.

Vijayakanth’s party DMDK had organised a blood donation camp in Chennai and invited reporters  to cover it.

As Vijayakanth stepped forward to speak to the press, a reporter asked him  if Jayalalithaa’s AIADMK would come back to power in next assembly elections.

The actor-turned politician, calmly replied, "AIADMK will not capture power at all."

Then he inexplicably flew into a rage and asked,"Can you pose this question to Jayalalithaa? You will be afraid! Are you journalists," he allegedly said.

And he spat in anger into the mike.

Vijayakanth is known to exhibit eccentric behaviour on occasions. For instance, he had earlier turned a Yoga day session into a comedy show.

Several journalist bodies took offense and asked him to apologse for his repeated
"continuously" behaving in an "uncivilised" manner with them.
