The Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), led by actor-turned-politician Vijay, has stunned the political landscape in Tamil Nadu by emerging as a front-runner to form the government after its electoral debut.
TVK's success has put the spotlight on political 'startups', with few parties achieving such remarkable results instantly.
While parties like the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) have formed governments after their debut elections, TVK's achievement is notable for its speed and scale.
The party has been leading in 107 seats, surpassing the ruling DMK and AIADMK, the two main players in the state since decades.
TVK's success has inspired confidence in those considering launching a political startup, and its story may be a 'remake' for others to follow.
