Whatever be the result on 4th May, whichever Govt comes to power must take up a political awareness program for our youth, a kind of mental detox. We have had so many videos of youngsters saying the most idiotic things. Last week a youngster at a media office asked me about TVK chances. When I said it wasn't high in terms of votes to seat conversion he said, "so what if he does not get enough votes all he needs is to win seats." After a pause he asked me are votes and seats connected? Can't you get seats without votes? This is not a joke. Seriously there is need for political awareness programs for our youth. #TamilNaduAssemblyElections2026


















Almost every Tamil journalist I spoke to today says TVK will take mostly AIADMK vote and much smaller number of DMK votes. Many of them are predicting 150-160+ for DMK alliance. Also almost all of them are giving Vijay at least 20% overall vote share. I am completely gobsmacked. I still maintain Vijay will largely be an urban phenomenon and I do not expect him to cross 15% max in rural areas, maybe even dropping to 10% or lower in some seats. I believe there is serious overestimation being done of TVK's vote share. Maybe this post won't age well or maybe it will. Let us see on 4th May. #TNAssemblyElections


Tamilnadu assembly elections 2026. The below reaction on Vijay voters seems quite extreme. It has the inherent assumption that only some wild astray badly brought up youths are voting TVK and that is far from the truth. Absolutely normal and fine people are voting TVK. I think it is elitist thought to categorize voters of a party as such. Yes there are reels with extreme over excitement on TVK and some bizarre reactions also, let us isolate those reactions as not good for society and avoid branding an entire bunch of voters as such.








I still maintain the same. There are pro-US insider elements in the regime already that are ready to take over. Some from the same leadership now seen "fighting" US/Israel, but still left alive by them, will take over the new regime that will be US aligned. It may look on the outside, like venezuela now, that no change happened. But just like VZ, their policies will be pro US and not China. This is what regime change is about in the new US doctrine.
