Thalapathy Vijay's TVK gains majority in Tamil Nadu state assembly

Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam emerged as the single largest party with 107 seats but fell short of a majority, while the DMK alliance and NDA trailed behind in closely watched results nationwide this year overall.
In West Bengal, the BJP secured a landslide with 206 seats, defeating the Trinamool Congress and unseating Mamata Banerjee in Bhabanipur. The results highlight shifting voter sentiment, coalition uncertainty in Tamil Nadu, and a new leadership phase with Suvendu Adhikari emerging as a key contender for the chief minister role.
