Chennai, May 4

Following TVK's strong performance in the Tamil Nadu assembly elections, megastar Rajinikanth conveyed his best wishes to party chief Vijay.

In a post on X, Rajinikanth wrote, "My congratulations to Thiru Vijay, President of the victorious Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, and to the members of his party, on their resounding victory in the recently concluded Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly elections."

Actor Dhanush also congratulated Vijay over his historic win in his debut elections.

"My heartfelt congratulations to Mr. Vijay sir and the Tamil Nadu Victory Kazhagam, who, having come to the field and contested in their very first election, have earned the immense support and love of the people of Tamil Nadu and are set to form the government," he posted.

According to the latest ECI data, TVK has won 93 seats and is leading on 14 seats. DMK has won 47 seats and is leading on 13 while the AIADMK has won 41 seats and is leading on six seats.

Vijay has joined the league of iconic actor-turned-leaders like NT Rama Rao, MG Ramachandran, and J Jayalalithaa. His performance reinforces that his cinematic popularity has translated into a deep emotional connection with the masses, reflected clearly in the public mandate.

TVK's victory could also mark a historic shift, with Tamil Nadu having witnessed for decades alternate governments led by Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK).

Honestly, I'm cautiously optimistic. Vijay's popularity is undeniable, but let's see how his team handles actual governance. MGR and NTR succeeded because they had strong administrative support. I hope TVK doesn't become another celebrity-led disappointment.

Rajini sir and Dhanush congratulating Vijay is such a classy moment! TN cinema is truly special - when stars support each other politically, it shows unity. I'm excited to see what TVK brings to the table for our state's development. 🔥

As a long-time observer of TN politics, this is genuinely historic. Breaking the DMK-AIADMK duopoly is no small feat. But I worry about TVK's inexperience - Vijay needs to surround himself with capable administrators, not just film industry friends. Let's give them a chance but stay vigilant. 🙏

From Chennai with pride! The way Vijay connected with youth and rural voters through his grassroots campaigns was brilliant. Let's hope TVK delivers on promises like free education and healthcare. Also, Thalaivar Rajini's blessings add so much weight 🙌

Impressive victory for Vijay. As someone who follows Indian politics from abroad, it's fascinating to see cinema stars transition to leadership roles. The comparison with MGR and NTR is apt - but modern governance requires more than just charisma. Hope he builds a strong team!
