Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), led by actor Thalapathy Vijay, is gaining traction ahead of the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. Recent surveys indicate that TVK’s projected vote share ranges between 15-20%, with some experts predicting further growth. This rising support is largely driven by Vijay’s personal popularity.
However, it remains uncertain whether TVK will contest independently or form alliances with major parties like DMK and AIADMK. Despite TVK’s increasing influence, the DMK-led alliance still holds a strong lead in voter projections.
Survey Reports on TVK’s Growth
Several surveys have analyzed TVK’s potential vote share:
Prashant Kishor’s internal survey: 20%
Loyola survey: 18.5%
India Today C-Voter poll: 15%
These numbers suggest TVK is emerging as a serious contender in Tamil Nadu politics.
Prashant Kishor’s Role in TVK’s Strategy
Political strategist Prashant Kishor recently held a series of meetings with TVK leaders, including Vijay, at the party headquarters in Panaiyur. Sources confirm that Kishor has submitted a detailed SWOT analysis outlining TVK’s strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.
Kishor’s roadmap aims to strengthen TVK’s organizational structure, develop a strong election manifesto, and craft an effective campaign strategy. His analysis predicts that TVK could secure 15-20% of the vote share, making it a potential game-changer in 2026.
Political Reactions to Vijay’s Move
Vijay’s association with Kishor has drawn criticism from rival leaders. BJP Tamil Nadu chief K. Annamalai criticized Vijay, urging him to connect with the people directly instead of relying on strategists.
DMK MP Kanimozhi downplayed Kishor’s involvement, stressing that DMK relies on its grassroots network rather than external strategists. DMK leader T.K.S. Elangovan acknowledged Kishor’s expertise but emphasized DMK’s decades-long electoral experience and strong presence across Tamil Nadu.
TVK’s Next Steps in Tamil Nadu Politics
TVK insiders believe Prashant Kishor’s strategy could significantly boost the party’s prospects. With his guidance, TVK is focused on expanding its grassroots presence across Tamil Nadu and refining its election manifesto to address key voter concerns. It is also focused on increasing its vote share and emerging as a dominant force in state politics.
As the 2026 elections approach, TVK’s next moves—whether contesting alone or forming alliances—will be closely watched. With Vijay’s popularity and Kishor’s strategy, TVK is positioning itself as a serious competitor in Tamil Nadu’s political landscape.
