Congress MP Rahul Gandhi congratulated Tamil Nadu leader and actor Vijay for his party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK)'s big victory in its maiden contest in the southern state.
Gandhi said that Tamil Nadu's favouring Vijay's party was a reflection of the “rising voice of youth”.
“I spoke to Thiru Vijay and congratulated him on TVK’s spectacular result. This mandate reflects the rising voice of youth which cannot, and will not, be ignored,” Gandhi said in a tweet.
He also thanked Congress workers for their campaign in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry.
Alliance buzz in Tamil Nadu
Rahul Gandhi's congratulatory message for Vijay comes amid speculation over a possible alliance to be forged by the TVK, given party's failure to cross the majority mark despite securing wins on over 100 seats.
The party fought the polls alone, and the Congress and DMK fought in alliance.
Now, several options lie before Vijay who is being seen as CM probable by many if his party forms a government in the state.
