Actor-turned-politician C. Joseph Vijay leads the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, which won 108 seats in the 234-member Assembly. However, the party still needs 118 seats to secure a clear majority.

Actor-turned-politician Joseph Vijay, whose party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) emerged as the largest group in the Assembly, is working to gather support from other parties to reach the required majority. The ongoing political suspense in Tamil Nadu has increased interest in the state’s next political move.

Reports say Vijay is heading to Lok Bhavan to meet Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar to discuss government formation. He is also expected to hold a meeting with his party’s MLAs to decide the next strategy.

Meanwhile, Edappadi K. Palaniswami, leader of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, has also sought an appointment with the Governor. With both leaders making key moves, the political future of Tamil Nadu remains uncertain and closely watched.

Rajinikanth visited Stalin at his Chennai residence and reportedly expressed support after the DMK’s defeat. Photos from the meeting quickly went viral on social media and sparked debates over possible future political alignments.

Meanwhile, actor-politician Vijay’s TVK emerged as a strong force in Tamil Nadu politics. Reports suggest Vijay is also in talks with Congress and Left parties to strengthen his position in the Assembly.

This TVK Party Record is significant because even established regional parties often lose deposits in several constituencies. TVK candidates maintained strong vote shares and achieved impressive margins in many seats, showing broad voter support across the state.

The average victory margin for TVK candidates reached about 22,842 votes. This margin is higher than many results recorded by traditional Dravidian parties such as Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) in several constituencies.

Political analysts say Vijay’s popularity and the party’s focused campaign strategy helped TVK gain strong trust among voters. In its first major electoral contest, TVK has created a new chapter in Tamil Nadu politics.

TVK won 108 seats in the 234-member assembly. However, the party still needs 10 more seats to reach the majority mark of 118.

Because of this situation, Congress Supports Thalapathy Vijay and plans to back his party in government formation. Congress leaders are expected to confirm the decision soon.

The Congress party has five MLAs in the assembly. Their support could help Vijay move closer to forming the government. TVK leaders are also speaking with other parties and independent MLAs.

Meanwhile, Vijay shifted his party MLAs to a resort near Mahabalipuram. The move aims to keep the MLAs together during political talks.

If the numbers work out, Vijay may soon become the next Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.

The rise reminds many of N. T. Rama Rao, who formed the Telugu Desam Party in 1982 and became chief minister in his first election in 1983. He changed Andhra Pradesh politics with the slogan of Telugu self-respect.

Now, Thalapathy Vijay politics could mark a new chapter. If trends hold, Vijay may become one of the fastest film stars to reach the chief minister’s chair.

In the 2021 Assembly polls, Congress contested 25 seats under the DMK-led alliance. Reports suggest the DMK has offered the same number again. The ruling party has also indicated support for one Rajya Sabha seat as part of the arrangement. However, Congress is seeking at least 35 Assembly constituencies this time.

Congress leaders argue that their organisational strength justifies a larger share. The demand has created a deadlock in recent days. DMK leaders believe increasing the quota may upset other alliance partners. Several new parties have joined the front and seek representation.

Uncertainty now surrounds the future of the alliance. Congress may review its position if talks fail, though no official statement has been issued. Political observers are closely watching whether both sides reach a compromise before the deadline.
