LKG also realises the politics of today is run by the corporates and professional image builders. He always manipulates the situation depends on the number of votes he will get or the hard cash he makes. He goes around wearing a saffron veshti and black shirt, which brings in votes from both the believers and the atheists. Right from the beginning, the voice in his head tells the audiences that he is in politics for himself, and not for the people. Egged on by his uncle (Mayilsamy), who acts as his PA, LKG decides to take a different political line where he uses people’s trust and faith in him, so that he can make money and capture power. He has also a personal score to settle as his father (Nanjil Sampath), who was in politics for 30 years, did not make money and was considered a failure by the people. In a flashback sequence, it is shown how a small time crooked but ambitious councilor LKG climbs up the political ladder using his tact and gift of the gab. The opening scene has our hero Lalgudi Karupaiah Gandhi aka LKG (Balaji) getting shot at as he is about to be sworn in as the chief minister of Tamil Nadu. Another scene taken from real life has a politician slapping a man in public, the video of which went viral. There is the incident of a Tamil Nadu minister floating thermocol taped together on the Vaigai dam reservoir to prevent the water from evaporating. In fact, it is obvious that Balaji and his friends helped themselves to real-life incidents that went viral and spiced up the script. There are many hilarious scenes that instantly connects with the audiences about a particular political party or incident. LKG is a neat political satire that shows how cynical the common man is about the current political scenario.
