Political History
2024 - TVK founded by actor Vijay on February 2, 2024, establishing new political party in Tamil Nadu
2025 - TVK boycotted the Erode East by-election along with AIADMK, BJP, and DMDK citing issues with democratic process in by-polls
2025 - September: Karur rally stampede tragedy kills 41 people, three senior TVK organizers charged in FIR
2026 - M. Vijay Balaji announced as TVK candidate for Erode East constituency in Tamil Nadu Assembly elections
Achievements
• Represents a new political formation challenging the established DMK-AIADMK duopoly in Tamil Nadu politics
• Part of TVK's ambitious plan to contest all 234 seats independently in 2026 elections
• Benefits from strong social media engagement and youth mobilization driven by party founder's celebrity status
As a first-time candidate from TVK in Erode East, public sentiment is largely tied to party founder Vijay's popularity and anti-establishment positioning. Supporters praise the party's welfare promises and challenge to DMK-AIADMK dominance, while critics question political inexperience and organizational capability, especially after the tragic Karur stampede in 2025.
