In a statement following the April 23 Assembly elections, Vijay, the founder of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the people of Tamil Nadu for their overwhelming support, which he termed a 'historic and transformative mandate.' The TVK, launched in 2024, made a remarkable entry into the political arena by winning 108 seats out of 234 in its first electoral attempt. Vijay, who won from both the Perambur and Tiruchirappalli East constituencies, hailed the election as a 'miracle' that has significantly impacted Indian politics. He attributed the success to the active participation of young voters, stating that their involvement was pivotal in shaping the election's outcome. Vijay acknowledged the challenges faced by the party, including criticism and ridicule, but emphasized the unwavering support from the Tamil Nadu electorate. He noted that this mandate signifies a rejection of the entrenched influence of money in politics, highlighting a shift towards a more people-centric political culture. Vijay also expressed hope that those who did not vote for TVK would consider supporting the party in future elections.
