In a remarkable political debut, Vijay (chief of the Tamilaga Valvu Kuzhu, TVK) secured 108 seats in the Tamil Nadu assembly elections, just 10 seats shy of the majority needed to form a government. Celebrated actor Mohanlal extended his congratulations via social media, emphasizing the honor of public trust bestowed upon Vijay. The TVK is now looking to forge alliances with smaller parties, such as Congress and PMK, to reach the necessary 118 seats for governance. The election results signal a historic shift in Tamil Nadu politics, potentially ending the long-standing dominance of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) since June 1977. This victory reflects a changing political landscape, as Vijay joins the ranks of other successful actor-politicians in the state.
