Actor-politician Vijay's newly formed Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) leads in 98 constituencies in Tamil Nadu's Assembly elections, potentially dethroning the longstanding Dravidian parties, DMK and AIADMK. With DMK's Chief Minister M K Stalin trailing, TVK could mark a significant political shift reminiscent of historical electoral upsets.

In a surprising electoral development, newcomer Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), helmed by actor-politician Vijay, is poised for a strong showing in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.

TVK was ahead in 98 constituencies, leaving behind dominators DMK and AIADMK. Chief Minister M K Stalin and his deputy, Udhayanidhi, were trailing in significant seats.

This development suggests a potential historic electoral shift, echoing past political upheaval in Tamil Nadu, reminiscent of the 1967 and 1977 landmark elections led by Annadurai and MGR, respectively.
