Victory on the way to MG Ramachandran?
MG Ramachandran separated from DMK and founded AIADMK in 1972 and became the Chief Minister. When he founded the party, other political parties had believed that his party would not survive but he showed the power of his popularity as an actor in politics and won a bumper victory and remained in power for three terms. At the same time, Thalapathy Vijay is also on the same path. He seems to be repeating history. Only two years have passed since his party TVK was formed. His party neither had any alliance nor any vote bank. Nevertheless, he has made a great start in politics.
