MDMK MP Vaiko has raised concerns about the accuracy of exit polls ahead of the 2026 Tamil Nadu assembly elections, citing significant discrepancies in predictions. While some surveys indicate a victory for the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), others suggest a possible win for the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) or even a strong showing by Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), led by actor-turned-politician Vijay. Vaiko noted that TVK could emerge as a formidable player, particularly among students and first-time voters, potentially altering the election landscape. He reaffirmed the enduring influence of the Dravidian movement, dismissing claims that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) could diminish its significance. Exit polls project TVK's seat count between 10 to 24, but one forecast by Axis MyIndia suggests a remarkable rise to between 98 and 120 seats, which could significantly elevate Vijay's political presence in Tamil Nadu if realized on May 4.
