Actor-politician Vijay's TVK on Monday created a record of sorts in the electoral history of Tamil Nadu and emerged as the single largest party by delivering a shock defeat to incumbent DMK and its president, Chief Minister MK Stalin in his Kolathur constituency, while the AIADMK was pushed to a distant third spot.This was the first time since 1967, when the first non-Congress government (DMK) came to power in the state, that a party other than the two Dravidian heavyweights emerged victorious in the hustings.Vijay and TVK have many firsts to their credit and the the party founder will be the first person from a minority religion -Christianity- to helm the state.While Vijay won from both Perambur and Tiruchirappalli East constituencies, his party has netted 107 seats and has become the single largest party in the 234-member House.

Together such parties have won or leading in a total of 18 seats. TVK needs 118 seats to form government.This will the first time in Tamil Nadu that a party will assume power a little over two years after its founding.
