In its first election, TVK secured 108 seats in the 234-member Assembly; however, the party is still short of a majority and will require the backing of at least 10 additional MLAs to establish the government.
During the launch of the party’s manifesto, Vijay stated that his vision is influenced by Thiruvalluvar’s Thirukkural. He emphasized three fundamental values, aram (righteousness), porul (wealth management), and inbam (well-being), asserting that these should shape government operations.
