Superstar Vijay's political journey has taken a significant turn as his party, the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), has secured a majority in the Tamil Nadu Assembly with 118 MLAs. This majority was achieved with the unconditional support of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), which added two crucial seats to the coalition. The TVK, launched just two years ago, emerged as the largest single party in the recent elections, winning 108 seats and ending the 62-year dominance of the Dravidian parties, specifically the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK). The DMK was reduced to 59 seats, while the AIADMK managed to secure 47 seats. The Congress party won 5 seats, and other smaller parties also contributed to the new political landscape. Vijay's coalition is now poised for an oath ceremony, marking a new chapter in Tamil Nadu's governance.
