One of the most extraordinary results in South Indian politics came out in the form of the Tamil Nadu Assembly election yesterday, and it was an absolute sensation. For now, let us have a look at the numbers that are associated with the same.

Thalapathy Vijay who contested his first ever election campaign in Tamil Nadu created association by pulling the highest number of votes for any political party in Tamil Nadu.

in terms of the volume of words that Vijay could secure he could beat the conventional favourites of DMK and AIDMK, which is a phenomenal achievement in his first ever election campaign.
