Union Home Minister Amit Shah expressed his gratitude to the people of Tamil Nadu for their support of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) during the recent assembly elections. In a post on X, he emphasized the NDA government's commitment to the development of Tamil Nadu and the strengthening of Tamil culture and pride under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership. Shah praised Tamil Nadu BJP President Nainar Nagendran and party workers for their efforts. Prime Minister Modi also thanked Tamil Nadu voters and congratulated the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), led by actor-turned-politician Vijay, for its impressive performance, winning 108 seats in the 234-member assembly. This victory marks a significant shift in Tamil Nadu politics, moving away from the long-standing dominance of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK). Notably, DMK Chief Minister MK Stalin lost his stronghold of Kolathur to TVK's VS Babu, who won by 8,795 votes. The results indicate a changing political landscape in Tamil Nadu, with the TVK needing support from other parties to form a government.
