Tamil Nadu's politics has been dominated by DMK and AIADMK for decades, but actor-turned-politician Vijay is trying to disrupt the bipolar politics with his Tamilaga Vettri Kazagham party. The outcome of his attempt may be influenced by the success of Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab and Delhi.
Tamil Nadu's politics has been bipolar for decades, with DMK and AIADMK dominating the state since 1977. Actor-turned-politician Vijay is trying to dent this duopoly with his Tamilaga Vettri Kazagham party. Vijay is targeting the approximately 20% of voters who are considered neutral or disillusioned with the current system. Analysts are divided on whether Vijay's move will hurt DMK or AIADMK more, with some believing he will act as a 'vote-cutter'. The state's assembly polls are scheduled for April 23. Vijay's attempt is being compared to Aam Aadmi Party's success in Punjab and Delhi, where it disrupted the traditional bipolar politics.
