It was a stunning victory for Actor
Vijaykanth in Vriddhachalam in the
recent elections to the Tamil Nadu
assembly. Remember we had written
yesterday that Vijaykanth might win
with a slender margin? Fighting an
election in the stronghold of Vanniar
belt, a caste group that is strongly
affiliated to the Paattali Makkal
Katchi, is a mighty task and Vijaykanth
did it bravely, pushing the PMK to
the second place and the ruling ADMK
to the third place. |

Guess
what? Vijyakanth defeated his nearest
rival by a whopping 13 thousand
votes. Analysts say that Vijaykanth’s
entry into politics had undone the
ruling party. And if the DMK had
not got a sizeable majority, it
was once again because of Vijaykanth.
He had amassed more than 10% of
the votes polled and that should
put out feelers to everyone that
here is someone to watch out carefully.
His party, though has not won any
seats in other constituencies, has
performed extremely well in wooing
votes. |
