Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections 2026: Vijay Thalapathy and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam on their way to a massive victory
Actor-turned-politician C Joseph Vijay, widely recognized as Thalapathy, and his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), are poised for a significant victory in Tamil Nadu. The party has secured 18 seats and is leading in over 90 others. Earlier in the day, TVK experienced a decline in its lead, but it quickly regained momentum, surpassing rivals Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (ADMK). TVK leader Vijay, who is contesting from both Perambur and Trichy East, is leading in both constituencies by substantial margins. The TVK, under Vijay’s leadership, opted to contest independently across all 234 assembly constituencies. The assembly elections have been a fiercely contested three-way battle among TVK, DMK, and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

IPL 2026: How has Varun Chakravarthy performed for the Kolkata Knight Riders?
Meanwhile, Chakravarthy went wicketless in the first few matches of the tournament but has stood up in the last few games and still has 10 scalps in 7 fixtures at 22.20. The wrist-spinner’s role was particularly vital in their much-needed victory over the SunRisers Hyderabad on Sunday as he picked up figures of 4-0-36-3 to bowl out the Orange Army for 165 with an over left.
Later, Angkrish Raghuvanshi struck a crucial half-century to propel the three-time champions to their third consecutive victory. The Knight Riders will still need all their remaining matches and depend on other results to progress to the playoffs.
