"Well-deserved victory": Chiranjeevi hails Vijay's win in debut Tamil Nadu elections

Megastar Chiranjeevi congratulates actor-turned-politician Vijay on his remarkable debut election victory in Tamil Nadu, with TVK leading in 99 constituencies.

"Dear @actorvijay, Hearty congratulations on this outstanding and well-deserved victory in your first election. - Chiranjeevi"

Chennai, May 4

Megastar Chiranjeevi has sent his best wishes to actor-turned-politician C Joseph Vijay, famously known as Vijay, who registered his remarkable win in his debut elections in Tamil Nadu.

Taking to X, Chiranjeevi wrote, "Dear @actorvijay, Hearty congratulations on this outstanding and well-deserved victory in your first election. May you continue to inspire, lead, and serve with unwavering passion and purpose. My best wishes to you for your public service to the state of Tamil Nadu and its people."

Making a remarkable electoral debut, Vijay established himself as the true "Jana Nayagan" of Tamil Nadu. His party, TVK, was leading in 99 constituencies and won 10 seats in the 234-member Tamil Nadu assembly, according to the last ECI trends.

Vijay is likely to seek support from smaller parties to reach the halfway mark of 118 seats.

A while ago, Vijay was seen acknowledging the crowd present outside his parents' house in Chennai.

As of 6:30 PM, the ECI's data indicate a massive surge for the newcomer party, with TVK dominating the trends by securing 33 wins and leading in 75 seats.

Incumbent DMK trails in a difficult second position with 14 wins and 47 leads, while the AIADMK alliance follows with 12 wins and 32 leads. Congress has managed 1 victory with 4 leads, marking a dramatic, high-stakes fight.

The results have also shattered long-held notions about actors struggling to succeed in politics, as Vijay now joins 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, as Tamil Nadu may witness its first government outside the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) dominance since June 1977.

I'm thrilled to see Vijay succeed because he represents the voice of the common man. But let's be honest - winning 10 seats outright is not the same as forming a government. He still needs allies. Also, actors-turned-politicians should focus on governance, not just fan following. Hope he delivers on infrastructure and employment in TN.

What a historic moment! TN politics needed this shake-up. DMK and AIADMK have been trading power like it's their family heirloom. Vijay's entry is like a breath of fresh air. And Chiranjeevi's message shows the pan-India respect Vijay commands. Real Jana Nayagan indeed! 🚀🔥

From an outsider's perspective, this is fascinating. The way Indian film stars translate their screen charisma into political power is unique. Vijay is following the footsteps of MGR and NTR - that is some serious legacy. But I wonder how sustainable this is without a strong party structure. Time will tell! 🤔

As a Tamilian, I'm cautiously optimistic. Vijay's victory is impressive but let's not forget that many actors have failed in politics. The real test begins now - can he manage a coalition government? The DMK still has 47 leads and AIADMK has 32, so it's a three-way split. Arindha kattradhu aram - let's see if his knowledge translates to governance.

Chiranjeevi's message is so classy - always a gentleman. Vijay's win proves that mass heroism isn't just about films but about
