Tamil Nadu Exit Polls: TVK Disrupts DMK And AIADMK With Massive Debut | TN Elections 2026

Added: 2026-04-30

[00:00:00]So the focus of course has been on Bengal especially about could there be a change of an era or not but what about Tamil Nad Tamil Nad hasn't showed any less surprising results as per pollsters Tamil Nad's political strip also seems to be changing because there are more than usual prayers who are rewriting it for decades remember the battle has been predictable for now either the Dravidomra Karagam or the AIDMK but 2026 could be different a new player came in a superstar stepping in what was once looking like a dramatic entry could actually turn into a serious power play.

[00:00:33]Remember the DMK had downplayed Vijay and his party for the longest time even before election campaigning had started.

[00:00:40]But the numbers are showing a different game. Look at that on your screen.

[00:00:44]Access my India polls are showing projecting a blockbuster debut for Vijay's TV. They are giving it 98 to 120 seats in the 234 member assembly. also giving DMK plus though 92 to 110 seats so sort of close enough and AIADMK just about 22 to 32 seats that they haven't been able to make inroads into the anti-incumbency mark several other exit polls predicting that DMK will return to government though in the state one is even predicting AIA DMK's return meanwhile amid all of this chief minister MK Stalin holding a key huddle with the top ministers including Dur Muragan and Senel Balaji exit poll predictions are on final results day strategy high on the agenda. DMK expressing confidence that exit polls align with its own assessment saying it has accurately read the public mood and expects to cross the 180 seat mark but also still downplaying TV's role saying the party will neither be king nor king maker and will gain mainly at AIAMK's expense. India today exit poll appears to have triggered a fresh political calculations. Many are shocked and surprised and sources are telling India today AIDMK is exploring the possibility that they may want to open channels already with the TVK but of course it will depend on the seats that Vijay's party eventually gets 2.0 Even in the parliament election they predicted 410 are gone but miserably they failed and now the only a minority is government. Therefore all other not only is our survey in my experience of about more than five decades we have the survey which you have conducted the results have come that we will be very comfortable >> correct >> we will be forming government with very comfortably and independently >> is there a message that you want to say to Kaliswami or TV case Vijay who believe that they will be either king or kingmakers >> let them dream. That is their dream. It will never come true.

[00:03:38]Other than asking pollsters, other than asking any survey people, you should ask people. You should ask the real voters.

[00:03:45]Go and ask real voters. You take a survey by your own. Ask 100 people's without camera. You ask 100 people without camera and you'll know the real what is the reality in the ground.

[00:03:55]Definitely you we know that 100% whole Tamilad people trust our leader and definitely you will see the change. You will see the surprise and forth.

[00:04:08]Okay.

[00:04:20]UDF but more or less tough fight.

[00:04:40]predictions went wrong in in the uh past history. This is the past history. So now why? Because we are not relying upon this. They are taking some uh minor samples from the public. It is not reflecting the real mood of the Tamil Nadu people and also it is not the not reflecting the real uh real pictures. It will not real reflecting the real picture. People of Tamilad want to change the government. Now this is the ground reality. So we will come to the power. DMK will not come again. DM TVK is getting some votes in some packets.

[00:05:21]They they also not got even single seat.

[00:05:24]They will not win. ADMK will come to the power. If in case the numbers marginally also hold true, would the AIADMK consider joining hands with Vijay to make sure that DV uh you know the DMK loses because both of you have one thing is in common that is to defeat the DMK.

[00:05:42]Would you consider joining hands sir with that?

[00:05:44]>> No no I I'm not I think so it will decide by our leader in the later on then we we are getting pumping majority.

[00:05:52]What is the question of joining hands with Vijay and all you don't I am not I don't I am I'm not uh telling I am not go into the inner politics it will decide later on by our leader >> talks that are now going on ever since you know the exit poll results from various uh you know fronts have come out wherein there are talks that AADMK is likely looking at uh you know a union with the TVK now that the numbers have come out and possibly TVK might uh do uh you know form the governance. How do you see this?

[00:06:25]>> I don't think so. We we are going to form the government is with BJP.

[00:06:32]So they will they are going to lose definitely. See I'll tell you what is it for the past 5 years in the last parliament election 20 to 24 parliament election the same number of votes were pulled more or less the same number of votes were cast and DMK swept the election. Nobody else had any role.

[00:06:52]>> We have been maintaining that we will win this election with a massive margin and the exit polls though they are conservative. In my estimate the numbers given by these pollsters are conservative. I am very very confident that we will cross the 180 mark. See TVK I think uh looks like and from what we could sense they have pulled good. They have pulled good number but they are not going to be kingmakers or they are not going to make any change. Now in fact it is to the detriment of the ADMK party.

[00:07:26]If TV has performed well that is to the detriment of the to the detriment of the ADMK party and the blame squarely falls on Mr.
