Vijay’s Tamil Nadu CM Bid Faces Major Political Twists Amid Majority Battle Tamil Nadu witnessed dramatic political developments on Friday, May 8, 2026, as actor-politician Vijay moved closer to becoming Chief Minister but still remained short of a confirmed majority. Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) gained support from Congress, CPI, and CPI(M), taking its strength to 116 MLAs in the 234-member Assembly. However, reports said Vijay submitted signatures of

Vijay Politics India: TVK Emerges as Tamil Nadu’s Big 2026 Story Vijay politics India has become one of the biggest talking points in the Tamil Nadu election 2026 as his TVK party turns film-star popularity into serious political momentum. The actor-turned-leader’s rise through Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam is no longer being seen as just celebrity politics. With massive rallies, disciplined messaging and strong grassroots energy, Vijay is now shaping the

Actor-turned-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) has now crossed the crucial majority mark of 118 in the fractured Tamil Nadu Assembly after securing the support of Congress, VCK, CPI, and CPI(M). This alliance has strengthened Vijay’s claim to form the next government, with all eyes now on whether Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar will invite him to take the next step. TVK had emerged as the single largest party in the recently-concluded Tamil Nadu elections, securing 107 seats out of 234 in the Assembly. Following the election, the opposition parties—Congress, VCK, CPI, and CPI(M)—extended their support, pushing Vijay's alliance to the magic number of 118, needed to form the government. With this new backing, Vijay is expected to stake his claim once again after an earlier rejection by the Governor. TVK had previously sought an appointment with Governor Arlekar, but it was rescheduled to 6 pm. This delay has caused political turmoil, with several protests from TVK cadres and Congress announcing statewide demonstrations against the Governor’s stance. The political drama surrounding Vijay's efforts to form a government has been further complicated by criticisms of the Governor’s refusal to invite the largest party to form a government. Opposition leaders have argued that the Governor’s actions go against constitutional norms, citing precedents where leaders were invited to form governments without initially proving their majority in the legislature. With political tensions high, the sudden consolidation of support around Vijay is seen as a significant turning point. The Congress, Left, and VCK have all rallied behind Vijay’s leadership, but the Governor’s next move remains crucial in determining if Vijay will be invited to form the next Tamil Nadu government. Behind the scenes, there have been reports of frantic negotiations, with Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge personally speaking to VCK leader Thol Thirumavalavan to secure their support. Despite some criticisms from VCK leader Sinthanai Selvan about Vijay’s handling of post-poll situations and accusations of resort politics, the larger concern has been preventing what opposition parties see as an attempt to impose "Governor’s Rule" in Tamil Nadu. BJP’s spokesperson, however, maintains that the Governor is acting within constitutional boundaries. As the battle for power in Tamil Nadu intensifies, the political standoff shows no signs of ending soon. With TVK now in a stronger position, it remains to be seen whether the Governor will accept the support from Vijay’s alliance and move forward with the formation of the government.

Tamil Nadu is currently embroiled in a full-fledged constitutional crisis after the Governor declined to invite actor-politician Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) to form a government. Despite TVK winning 108 seats in the state assembly and emerging as the single-largest party, the Governor’s refusal to allow the party to take office has sparked widespread political controversy. With rival factions scrambling to explore alternatives, the TVK has threatened to take drastic action. If

Chennai, May 6, 2026 - The political landscape in Tamil Nadu has seen a dramatic shift with Congress aligning with Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), a move that has been met with sharp criticism from their pre-poll ally, DMK. The Congress party, after a late-night virtual meeting, decided to extend conditional support to TVK, demanding cabinet positions and chairmanships in certain boards. The formal announcement of this alliance is expected soon, signaling a shift in political alliances in Tamil Nadu. The Fallout Between Congress and DMK The DMK, led by outgoing Chief Minister MK Stalin, wasted no time in accusing Congress of betrayal. DMK spokesperson Saravanan Annadurai took to social media, calling Congress "backstabbers" for breaking away from their pre-poll alliance. Annadurai reminded Congress that their five Assembly seats were possible only because of Stalin's leadership and support during the elections. He also pointed out that it was Stalin who had stood by Congress during tough times, including when the BJP/RSS trolled Rahul Gandhi as "Pappu." This political fallout marks the end of the DMK-Congress alliance, with Congress now choosing to back Vijay's TVK, which emerged as the single largest party with 108 seats in Tamil Nadu's Assembly. Vijay’s TVK, which had initially ruled out an alliance with BJP, has found a new ally in Congress, signaling a new phase in Tamil Nadu politics. Despite falling short of a majority, TVK remains confident about forming a government with outside support, and they have already reached out to other parties from the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance. The Congress, under the coordination of Karti Chidambaram, has decided to join hands with TVK, which is likely to shape Tamil Nadu’s political future in the coming weeks.

Thalapathy Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) Party has emerged as the single largest party in the Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections 2026.

As the situation unfolds, the question now is how Vijay will secure these additional 10 seats to ensure his party's rule in the state. Vijay is set to receive an invitation from the Governor to form the government,

In a historic political shift, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), led by actor Vijay, has emerged as the largest party in Tamil Nadu, winning 107 seats in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. This victory marks the end of a 15-year reign by the DMK and AIADMK, signaling a seismic change in the state’s political landscape. The victory was largely driven by Vijay’s immense star power and his deep-rooted connection with the grassroots, making him a formidable force in Tamil Nadu politics.

Vijay’s political debut is shaping into a potential game changer, with an Axis My India exit poll projecting a stunning performance for his party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam in Tamil Nadu. The survey suggests a major shift in the state’s political landscape, long dominated by two major Dravidian parties. According to the Axis My India exit poll, TVK is projected to win between 98 and 120 seats in the 234-member Assembly, placing it on par with the ruling alliance led by M. K. Stalin. The DMK-INC alliance is estimated to secure 92 to 110 seats, while the NDA alliance trails behind with 22 to 32 seats. The vote share projections are equally striking. TVK is expected to secure around 35 percent of the vote, matching the ruling bloc and leaving the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam-led alliance significantly behind. These numbers indicate that TVK is not merely a spoiler but a serious contender for power. Axis My India chief Pradeep Gupta compared Vijay’s rise to that of legendary leaders MGR and NTR, hinting at a historic political transformation if the projections hold true. The exit poll data points to a strong youth-driven surge behind TVK. Around 68 percent of first-time voters aged 18 to 19 and 59 percent in the 20 to 29 age group are estimated to have supported the party. This demographic advantage has helped TVK build momentum quickly across urban and semi-urban constituencies. The central theme driving support appears to be the demand for change. A significant portion of voters cited this as their primary reason, with even higher numbers among TVK supporters. Vijay’s personal appeal has also played a key role, blending celebrity influence with political messaging. TVK’s support base cuts across caste, class and geography, making it a broad-based movement rather than a niche political force. The party has gained traction among OBC, SC and minority communities, as well as both rural and urban voters. With Vijay emerging as the preferred chief ministerial candidate for many voters, slightly ahead of Stalin in the survey, the state’s political contest appears tighter than ever. While exit polls can be unpredictable, the data signals one clear trend: Tamil Nadu may be witnessing the rise of a powerful new political force.
