Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam Joseph Vijay Chandrasekhar – the 51-year-old Tamil cinema superstar known to fans worldwide as Vijay, or simply as “Thalapathy” (Commander) – has delivered the most seismic electoral debut in Tamil Nadu‘s modern history.
His Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam won 108 seats in Monday’s Assembly election count to emerge as the southern Indian state’s single largest party. On Tuesday, Vijay wrote to Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar staking formal claim to form the government – ending a 59-year lock on power shared exclusively between the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam.
