Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), led by Vijay, is currently contesting the elections on its own and has made a strong mark. Earlier in the day, TVK workers were seen celebrating across Tamil Nadu, dancing to Vijay's popular 'whistle podu' song and cheering for their leader. Enthusiastic party workers and supporters gathered in large numbers outside the party office in Chennai, waving flags and distributing sweets to celebrate the party's performance.

Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay is leading in the Tiruchirappalli East Assembly constituency at the end of the first round of counting by a margin of 6499 votes, following the counting of votes for the Tamil Nadu assembly elections began on Monday.

His main rival, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) candidate Inigo Irudayaraj, is trailing behind in the initial round, according to early counting trends.

Vijay's entry into politics has changed the political scene in the state, making the contest more competitive. Tamil Nadu politics has mostly been led by two major alliances, the DMK-led alliance, which is trying to stay in power, and the AIADMK-led NDA alliance, which includes the BJP.

The counting of votes is still underway, and the final results are yet to be officially announced by the Election Commission. (ANI)
