Joseph Vijay has moved early to secure his party’s position, with the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) preparing for possible “resort politics” ahead of the May 4 results. "},{"text":"With exit polls offering conflicting predictions -- some favouring the DMK-led alliance, others indicating gains for the AIADMK bloc and a few projecting a strong debut for TVK -- Vijay has initiated steps to prevent any post-result poaching of his party’s winning candidates."},{"text":"Party sources said arrangements have been made to accommodate elected MLAs at a private resort in Poonjeri near Mahabalipuram. The resort, which can host over 100 people, is being readied to house TVK’s victorious candidates immediately after the results are declared."},{"text":"According to insiders, Vijay instructed party functionaries to ensure that the facility is fully prepared, signalling a proactive approach to managing numbers in a potentially tight post-poll scenario."},{"text":"A day after the exit polls were released last week, Vijay issued a directive asking all winning candidates to report without delay to the party headquarters in Panaiyur."},{"text":"During a subsequent meeting, he reportedly told candidates, half in jest, not to “go anywhere” after securing victory—a remark that reflects the seriousness of the situation."},{"text":"Alongside logistical planning, Vijay has also activated the party’s legal wing to remain prepared for any contingencies during the counting process."},{"text":"He has further directed party general secretary (election campaign management) Aadhav Arjuna to approach the Election Commission of India seeking enhanced security at counting centres to ensure law and order."},{"text":"Meanwhile, the ruling DMK has expressed confidence about returning to power as the single largest party. The party leadership has instructed its cadre to remain vigilant and closely monitor counting proceedings."},{"text":"With the political landscape finely poised and uncertainty looming over the final outcome, Tamil Nadu may witness intense post-result manoeuvring, with “resort politics” once again emerging as a key strategy in the battle for power."}]}}},"relatedArticles":{"edges":[{"node":{"uid":"andhra-former-deputy-cm-alla-nani-dies","data":{"third_party_url":null,"title":{"text":"Andhra Former Deputy CM Alla Nani
