Tamil Nadu Election Prediction: Will Vijay's TVK's Defeat DMK? Here's What Astrologer Says

As the Election Commission gears up for the upcoming state elections in Tamil Nadu, the political activity is already charged up in the state.

Leading parties have begun laying the groundwork to secure victory, forming alliances, sharpening attacks on rivals, and setting the stage for what promises to be a dramatic contest.

One of the most talked‑about figures in recent weeks has been actor‑turned‑politician Vijay, founder of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). His personal life has come under intense scrutiny after news of his divorce became public. Despite the controversy, Vijay's entry has unsettled established parties, with analysts noting that his popularity among younger voters could reshape the electoral dynamics.

Pre‑poll surveys so far suggest that the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) is likely to retain power. Yet, an unexpected twist has emerged from astrologer Prashanth Kini, who has a notable following online for his political and global predictions.

In a series of posts on X, Kini forecasted that Tamil Nadu could witness a coalition government, a rarity in the state's political history. He suggested that DMK might receive outside support from TVK, even though the latter has been vocally critical of the ruling party.

Kini's posts have added intrigue to the campaign. On February 28, he wrote that DMK would secure external backing from "an unexpected" source, without naming TVK. Later, he elaborated, hinting at a DMK‑TVK arrangement where Vijay's party would not formally join the government but extend support from outside. He also claimed that conspiracies were being orchestrated against Vijay, citing his marital issues, a stampede incident, and delays in the release of his film Jana Nayagan. Despite these challenges, Kini predicted that Vijay would enter the assembly in 2026 and rise as a dominant force in Tamil Nadu politics by 2030.

The idea of a coalition government in Tamil Nadu is striking because the state has rarely experienced such arrangements. The only semblance of coalition politics dates back to 1952, when the Congress fell short of a majority and briefly relied on external support from smaller parties, including the Commonweal Party led by Rajaji.

By 1954, however, Congress consolidated power under K. Kamaraj, ending the experiment. Since then, Tamil Nadu's politics have been defined by clear majorities, with either DMK or AIADMK leading alliances that dominate the assembly. Even in 2006, when DMK won only 96 seats - short of a majority - M. Karunanidhi formed a single‑party cabinet, choosing not to include allies like Congress or PMK, and instead relying on external support.

Against this backdrop, the possibility of a coalition involving DMK and TVK would mark a significant departure from tradition. Whether astrology aligns with political reality remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Vijay's entry has injected fresh uncertainty into Tamil Nadu's electoral scene. Love him or hate him, his presence ensures that the 2026 elections will be closely watched, both within the state and beyond.
