Sanchita Chatterjee, BS News Agency: Actor Vijay’s newly formed Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) emerged as the single-largest force with around 108–110 seats in the 234-member assembly. The AIADMK secured a significant number of seats (around 50–67), while the ruling DMK alliance was pushed back to approximately 51–60 seats. The BJP and others remained marginal.
This debut performance by TVK breaks the decades-old dominance of the DMK-AIADMK combine. It reflects voter fatigue with established parties and signals the appeal of a fresh political alternative, potentially centred on youth issues, welfare, and anti-corruption. Government formation may require post-poll alliances, positioning Vijay as a key player in the state’s future.
