Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections 2026 | Congress welcomed into TVK alliance with festive fervour

In a development which could shape Tamil Nadu's politics, attention has shifted to TVK’s Panaiyur headquarters after a group of Congress MLAs arrived for a key meeting with actor-turned-politician Vijay.

The visual of the legislators entering the TVK premises has sent ripples through the state’s political corridors, signalling a potential shift in traditional alliances ahead of the upcoming electoral cycles, reported PTI.

Although the interaction was officially described as a “courtesy call,” the optics of senior Congress leaders meeting the leadership of the emerging party have intensified talk of growing political proximity.

Reportedly, the talks included discussion on the current political situation in Tamil Nadu, though neither side disclosed details of any strategic understanding.

The atmosphere at the venue remained upbeat as supporters gathered outside while the Congress delegation was escorted inside for the closed-door meeting. The visiting leaders were received by TVK chief and Chief Minister-designate Vijay with garlands and silk shawls.

The meeting’s visuals have gone viral online as TVK supporters gear up for the swearing-in of their ‘Thalapathy’ on May 7.
