The counting phase of the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections is revealing early signs of a possible hung assembly, prompting actor-turned-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) to implement a strategic Plan B. The party has arranged for its winning candidates to stay at a private resort in Poonjeri, near Mahabalipuram, to safeguard them from rival poaching, a tactic known as resort politics. This move follows a directive from Vijay during a strategy meeting, emphasizing the need for party cohesion amidst a tight electoral contest. In parallel, TVK's general secretary for election management, Aadhav Arjuna, has approached the Election Commission of India for increased security at counting centers to prevent disruptions. Meanwhile, the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) remains defiant, with spokesperson Salem Dharanidharan asserting confidence in a decisive victory and downplaying the impact of Vijay's political entry. As the counting continues, the key question remains whether TVK's rise will lead to a historic political shift or if the DMK's organizational strength will prevail.
