Tamil Nadu Govt Formation: A day after scripting history by emerging as the biggest party in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections 2026, VK founder Vijay on Tuesday thanked the people for the "historic and transformative mandate" they gave to him in the polls.
Vijay, whose party - the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam launched in 2024, performed impressively, securing 108 seats in its maiden electoral debut, described the April 23 election as a "miracle" that has shaken Indian politics. The TVK chief, in his first statement, after the historic poll victory, said that despite facing ridicule and criticism since its inception, the TVK had remained steadfast, depending only on the people.
Despite disguised insults and slander under the guise of neutrality and criticism, the people of Tamil Nadu stood by the party with unwavering affection, Vijay said in a statement posted on X.
"The mandate, he said, showed a deep emotional investment by voters. This mandate indicated the "rejection of money power in politics that has long influenced the state political culture," Vijay said.
என் நெஞ்சில் குடியிருக்கும் அனைவருக்கும் வணக்கம்.

கட்சி ஆரம்பித்ததில் இருந்தே நம்மை ஏளனமாகப் பார்த்தவர்களும் பேசியவர்களுமே அதிகம். அரசியலில் இது இயல்பே என்றுதான் நாமும் அதைக் கடந்து வந்தோம். எவரையும் சாராமல், மக்களை மட்டுமே நம்பி, தேர்தல் களத்திலும் தில்லாக நின்றோம்.
நடுநிலை…
Here Are The Key Highlights Of Vijay's Statement
- From the moment the party was started, those who looked at us with derision and spoke ill of us were the majority. We moved past it, thinking that this is only natural in politics. Without depending on anyone, relying only on the people, we stood courageously in the electoral field.
- Insults and slanders wearing masks in the name of neutrality and criticism were gifted to us. However, those for whom we entered politics to repay our debt of gratitude. Our own people of Tamil Nadu, have always held and supported us with motherly love and continue to do so.
- Though there are numerous factors, the children who led their families with their profound love stand as one of the deep-seated reasons for this miraculous election.

- In this electoral political war for a great change, it is not only our Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam that has won. It is also the emotional democracy that was nurtured with great desire in the hearts of the Tamil Nadu people. That is why the "money-power-cracy" (Pananayagam), which was threatening Tamil Nadu by turning into a political culture, has been dug deep and buried.
- Through this, it has been deeply and emphatically proven that Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam is the primary political movement for a great change. It is the profound truth that anyone with a fair and honest perspective will accept this as it is.
- I dedicate my lifelong gratitude to my own people of Tamil Nadu, who achieved a political victory for change that was thought would never, ever happen.
- While expressing gratitude to our kin, I also convey my heartfelt thanks individually to each of you: our party comrades, administrators at all levels, and Virtual Warriors.
