Vijay pulls off a Kejriwal in Tamil Nadu over a decade after AAP's rise in Delhi
Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) is poised to win the Assembly polls in Tamil Nadu, echoing Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) rise in Delhi over a decade ago. Both parties campaigned on anti-corruption and anti-dynastic politics, using freebies as a key poll strategy.
Vijay's TVK is set to win the Tamil Nadu Assembly polls, breaking the DMK-AIADMK duopoly. The party, launched in 2024, campaigned on anti-corruption and anti-dynastic politics, promising freebies like monthly assistance to women and free LPG cylinders. This mirrors Arvind Kejriwal's AAP rise in Delhi in 2013. AAP also used freebies like free electricity and water to win over voters. Both parties leveraged social media and grassroots mobilisation to expand their reach. TVK's victory is expected to bring a significant shift in Dravidian politics.
