Decades before Vijay, Amitabh Bachchan won over voters; scandals made him resign in 2 years | Bollywood News

Tamil superstar Vijay, who recently forayed into politics, is on the cusp of getting sworn in as the Chief Minister of the state, that is, if his party, TVK, can get a majority of 118 members in the Tamil Nadu Assembly. TVK emerged as the single largest party in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly with 108 seats. With Congress extending full support, they have reached the 113 mark, but until TVK can gather 5 other members, their dreams of forming a government are distant at best. Vijay is definitely not the first popular film actor who is trying to get a stronghold in the political sphere. Before him, MG Ramachandran also established his own party AIADMK in 1972, and served as the CM of the state for three terms. But, on the flip side, there have been film stars who were pushed out of politics by career politicians, as they saw the said star’s success as a threat to their career, and the one star who notably suffered the most because of this real-life politics …

She also raised concerns about alleged irregularities during the counting process, claiming that results in several seats were influenced. Claims of counting irregularities Banerjee alleged that counting was deliberately slowed down and that the mandate in nearly 100 seats had been “taken away”.
