Chennai, May 4 -- In a historic debut, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay has secured a landslide victory in the Perambur constituency, winning by a massive margin of 53,715 votes.

The actor-turned-politician is also maintaining a steady lead in Tiruchirappalli (East), reflecting a broader blockbuster performance for his party across the state.

In Perambur, Vijay secured 120, 365 votes, towering over R D Shekar of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (...
