CHENNAI, May 4 : TVK chief Vijay on Monday won from Perambur constituency by defeating his DMK rival R D Shekar by 53,715 votes in the Assembly elections held on April 23.
According to Election Commission data, Vijay secured 1,20,365 votes and Shekar – 66,650 votes.
He later received his certificate at Loyola College counting centre.
Outside the counting centre, a sea of yellow and maroon flags surged.
With this, “Thalapathy” had traded the silver screen for the legislative assembly, dismantling decades of two-party dominance in a single stroke.
Vijay is also competing from Tiruchirapalli East, where he is again leading decisively, signaling more than a debut — it marked the arrival of a new era. (PTI)
