In a dramatic shift in Tamil Nadu's political landscape, actor-turned-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) has emerged as the largest party in the recent assembly elections, securing 108 seats. However, the party fell short of the 118 seats needed for a majority. The ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has dropped to second place with 59 seats, while the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) garnered only 47 seats. This unexpected outcome has led to intense speculation regarding potential alliances. AIADMK may consider joining forces with TVK to prevent DMK from retaining power. Additionally, Congress has shown interest in forming a coalition with TVK, with Rahul Gandhi reportedly reaching out to Vijay. TVK spokesperson Felix Gerald expressed confidence in the party's ability to form a government independently, stating that DMK is now aware of the new political reality. This election marks a significant departure from the traditional DMK vs AIADMK rivalry in Tamil Nadu.
