CHENNAI: TVK chief gave an MLA ticket to his personal car driver’s son and now he’s winning in Virugambakkam. Sabarinathan R, the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) candidate, is currently leading in Virugambakkam as votes are being counted, marking a notable moment in the party’s debut electoral outing. The development has added a human-interest angle to an already high-stakes political contest involving TVK chief Vijay, whose party has emerged as a strong contender across multiple constituencies in its first assembly election. In Virugambakkam, Sabarinathan is ahead of Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) candidate Prabhakara Raja A M V by a significant margin, according to latest trends. Across Tamil Nadu, TVK has been outperforming several expectations, with leads reported in over 100 seats, positioning the debutant party as a major disruptor in the state’s traditional political landscape.
