In a remarkable electoral debut, Vijay (chief of the Tamil Nadu-based Tamil Valvur Katchi, or TVK party) led his party to victory in the recent state elections, securing 108 seats and becoming the largest party in Tamil Nadu. This historic win positions TVK just 11 seats shy of a majority, prompting Vijay to seek coalition partners to form the first non-Dravidian government in over 50 years. During the campaign, TVK focused on youth and women's welfare, promising ₹4,000 per month for job-seeking graduates and ₹2,500 for women heads of families. Additionally, the party pledged to provide collateral-free business loans of up to ₹25 lakh to encourage entrepreneurship among the youth. Safety initiatives for women include the establishment of a dedicated force and the installation of emergency panic buttons in public transport. The promises also encompass educational support, with stipends for students and financial aid to prevent school dropouts. The election results reflect a significant shift in Tamil Nadu's political landscape, with the ruling DMK securing only 59 seats and the AIADMK winning just 47.
