Axis My India Projects Blockbuster Debut For Vijay, Gives TVK Pole Position
Actor-turned politician Vijay’s TVK is set for a blockbuster performance in Tamil Nadu assembly polls, according to Axis My India exit poll, which also noted that the party is poised to get as much vote share as DMK in its debut election.
The exit poll projected that the seven-party alliance led by the DMK would get 92-100 seats, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) 98-120 seats and the five-party alliance led by AIADMK would get 22-32 seats.

Vijay, who is seen to have huge popularity among youth, had last week described the Tamil Nadu Assembly polling voter turnout as a “pinnacle historical event” in the history of the state’s electoral politics and said that the “victory is certain”.
“Greetings to all who reside in my heart,” he began his post on X.
“Politics is something only for some celestial warriors. Only for those with excessive experience. Only for those who enjoy positions. The illusory calculations of those who confined and controlled politics within such specific boundaries have been shattered and crushed by ordinary people,” he said.
“No one would have failed to be amazed seeing families, family by family, with little children, coming to vote, just like the crowds seen at temples anywhere for polling stations. And is that all? Can we not clasp our hands in salute to those democrats who came, spending great sums, from other states and even from foreign countries just to vote?” The meaning of calling it an election festival, a democratic festival, was truly felt only yesterday. This April 23, 2026. Yet, this is only a beginning,” he added.
Vijay’s entry had turned the Tamil Nadu polls triangular. The politics in the state has traditionally been dominated by alliances led by the DMK and AIADMK. The results will be announced on May 4. (ANI)
