Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay, during a rally in Tiruchirappalli, declared that the state's political future is a binary contest between his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), effectively sidelining the AIADMK. He noted that the support received by TVK in its electoral debut was unprecedented, claiming it surpassed the initial vote share of former Chief Minister M.G. Ramachandran. Vijay framed his victory as a clear rejection of the long-standing DMK-AIADMK duopoly, asserting that voters chose him as a genuine leader committed to their welfare. In the recent Tamil Nadu Assembly elections held on April 23, TVK secured 108 seats, leading to Vijay's swearing-in as the 13th Chief Minister on May 10.
