Tamil Nadu Assembly Election Results 2026: The counting of votes across all the 234 Assembly constituencies where polling was held on April 23 has begun.
The interview of those who have applied for a party ticket was conducted by Vijay at the TVK headquarters at Panaiyur, a suburb of Chennai.
In a submission on behalf of Vijay at the CBI office in Chennai, TVK leaders have cited the election related interview of candidates aspiring for the party ticket, and have sought a minimum of ten days for him to appear for the summons.
The announcements were made during the party’s International Women’s Day celebrations in Mamallapuram, a coastal heritage town near Chennai.
Living separately from Vijay, she has filed the divorce petition before the Chengalpattu District Court, seeking annulment of the marriage under Sections 27(1) (a), (b), (d) read with Sections 36 and 37 of the Special Marriage Act (1954).
While minor allies like the Indian Union Muslim League and the Left parties have been given preference and invited for talks, intriguingly, the ambivalent Congress has been kept waiting for its date.
Apparently irked by the demand for a share in power raised by a section of the Congress in the State, the DMK, which was initially inclined to seal the deal with the Congress first, is yet to form a committee to carry on the tough task of seat sharing with alliance partners.
Continuing his tirade against the ruling DMK, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) president and film star Vijay on Monday reiterated the claim of the TVK being a force of purity enjoying mass support and asserted that only it could defeat the ‘evil force DMK’ in the coming assembly election.
In a last-ditch bid to save his political future, former deputy chief minister O Panneerselvam (OPS), who has been left to fend for himself, has expressed his desire to join the AIADMK provided his ‘beloved brother’ and party general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS) and Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam leader TTV Dhinakaran, were prepared for readmitting him.
The committee, comprising senior party leaders, would coordinate with the district and Assembly segment levels and devise the campaign strategy for the polls, to strengthen the party affairs and galvanise the workers in achieving its goal of dethroning the ruling DMK, which Vijay had said that it was his political enemy and that the polls was between a straight between his party and DMK.
