Tamil Nadu Polls: Can Tamil Nadu’s 'Third Force' Vijay Disrupt Dravidian Dominance?
Vijay's entry into Tamil Nadu politics has brought with it a moment of transition. For decades, the state’s political landscape was dominated by two Dravidian giants - the DMK and AIADMK.

That force is Vijay and his party the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam. Vijay's campaign was driven by youth participation, grassroots mobilisation and a direct emotional connect with voters. So, what role will Vijay play after the results are announced on May 4?
