'Always wanted to do something for society': Father on performance of Vijay's TVK in debut election

S.A. Chandrasekhar says son Vijay always planned for society, as TVK leads in Tamil Nadu election, defeating CM Stalin.

"For more than 20 years, he (Vijay) was planning, and in his mind, he wanted to do something for society. - S.A. Chandrasekhar"

Chennai, May 4

With Tamil Nadu Assembly election trends giving a decisive lead to the newly-formed Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, clearly reflecting a major shift in the state's political landscape, party chief Vijay's father said that his son "always wanted to do something for the society".

On his son's sterling electoral debut, S.A. Chandrasekhar said: "For more than 20 years, he (Vijay) was planning, and in his mind, he wanted to do something for society. But he was expecting the correct time, so he felt this would be the correct time."

Exhibiting confidence in Vijay's leadership, he asserted: "Now he will be a good leader."

"As a father, as parents, we are very happy as well as emotional," he added.

Chandrasekhar expressed his gratitude to the people of Tamil Nadu for the decisive lead.

"They are hoping for something from my son; we will do everything for Tamil Nadu. He (Vijay) is having so many dreams in his mind, let him do," he told reporters.

Chandrasekhar was hopeful of the TVK forming a government with a majority.

According to the Election Commission website, the TVK chief was leading from both Perambur and Tiruchirappalli East Assembly constituencies, the seats from where he had contested.

Meanwhile, in a major political upset, Chief Minister and DMK President M.K. Stalin lost the Kolathur Assembly constituency, marking a significant setback for his party and signalling a dramatic shift in the state's political landscape.

TVK's V.S. Babu has emerged as the winner from Kolathur, securing 68,419 votes and defeating Stalin by a margin of 7,731 votes.

In another striking victory of the election, TVK candidate Vijay Dhamu, an auto driver, won the Royapuram constituency in North Chennai. He defeated AIADMK strongman and former minister D. Jayakumar and DMK's Subair Khan, son of former minister Rahman Khan.

The win is being widely seen as a symbol of grassroots empowerment and a clear message from voters seeking change.

As the TVK's impressive performance became evident, congratulatory messages poured in from across the political and entertainment spectrum.

Actor Kajal Aggarwal lauded Vijay's "spectacular and resounding victory", invoking one of his iconic film dialogues to underline the scale of public support.

Andhra Pradesh Minister Nara Lokesh also congratulated Vijay, stating that the results reflect the "evolving aspirations" of Tamil Nadu's electorate.

I'm cautiously optimistic, but let's remember that being a good actor doesn't automatically make you a good leader. Vijay needs to prove his governance skills now. The expectations are sky-high, and delivering on promises will be critical. Let's see if he can bring the same discipline to administration as he did to his films.

The people of Tamil Nadu have spoken loudly! A decisive lead for TVK shows voters want change. Chief Minister Stalin losing Kolathur is a massive political earthquake. This could reshape Tamil politics for a generation. Vijay Dhamu's win is particularly inspiring - proof that ordinary people can rise up!

As someone who has seen Tamil politics for decades, this result is historic but also worrying. We've seen star power before - from MGR to Jayalalithaa. But they had decades of political experience before leading. Vijay is new. I hope his father's confidence is well-placed and that TVK doesn't become another family-run party. Let the work speak for itself.

I'm a huge Vijay fan from Chennai and this is like a dream come true! His father's tears show how much this means to the family. The auto driver winning Royapuram - that's the kind of representation we need. Ordinary people finally getting a seat at the table! Vijay Anna, please don't let us down! 🙏🎉

Let's not get carried away by one election result. The real test will be governance - tackling water scarcity, improving education, and creating jobs. Vijay Dhamu's victory is heartwarming but symbolic. I want to see concrete
