Congress Data Analytics Chairman Praveen Chakravarty says it would be a mistake to dismiss actor-politician Vijay as an electoral also-ran, arguing that he has demonstrated clear staying power as a third political force in Tamil Nadu. Pointing to strong youth backing and widespread rally turnout, Chakravarty says the crucial factor will be how much of the state's under-40 electorate - which forms a significant share of voters - turns out for Vijay's party, a dynamic that could ultimately shape the outcome of the election.
