In a dramatic political development, Vijay, chief of TVK, has resigned from the Trichy East Assembly seat after securing victory from two constituencies. He will now continue as the MLA from Perambur, setting the stage for a high-voltage by-election.
Vijay had won Trichy East with a strong margin of 27,416 votes, making his decision to vacate the seat a strategic one. The move has quickly gained attention as the party prepares to field a high-profile candidate for the bypoll.
Actor Trisha Krishnan is set to enter active politics through this election, with the party finalizing her as its candidate from Trichy East. Her entry is being projected as a major boost to the party’s visibility and outreach, especially among youth and urban voters.
What adds further weight to this decision is the party’s plan to offer Trisha a key cabinet position if she wins the by-election. This signals a bold approach by TVK to bring prominent faces directly into governance and leadership roles.
Vijay’s latest move is being seen as a calculated step to strengthen his party’s political footprint while introducing new leadership. With Trisha’s debut and the promise of a cabinet berth, the upcoming Trichy East bypoll is now expected to draw intense public and political attention.
