In a surprising turn of events in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) has taken a commanding lead in 83 constituencies, threatening the dominance of traditional giants DMK and AIADMK.
The electoral trend, reminiscent of the pivotal 1967 and 1977 electoral shifts, saw TVK leading in key segments traditionally held by the DMK, sparking discussions of a major political upheaval.
As reports from the Election Commission emerged, a poor showing for the DMK raised eyebrows, especially with Chief Minister M K Stalin and his son Udhayanidhi trailing behind TVK contenders.
