Tamil Nadu Bypolls: Vijay’s TVK Faces Key Test In Dharapuram And Madurantakam

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay faces a crucial political test as bypoll results arrive for Dharapuram and Madurantakam, five months after his TVK’s breakthrough Assembly victory. Both seats were won by the AIADMK in April before its MLAs resigned and joined TVK, contesting again under Vijay’s banner. His extensive campaign has raised the stakes, with the results set to test whether voters have followed the defectors. For the AIADMK, the bypolls are a fight to reclaim its seats, while the DMK seeks to rebuild its support base.
