The results of five states West Bengal, Assam, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry have come. New governments are going to be formed in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The old warriors failed. Be it Mamata Banerjee or MK Stalin or Kerala CM P. Vijayan. When the country's attention was on the election results of West Bengal, after the counting of votes started, a star named Vijay Thalapathy was seen rising from Tamil Nadu, which by evening covered the horizon of the entire Tamil Nadu, which shattered Stalin's dream of becoming the CM.

Both Tamil Nadu and Kerala are important states of South India. The politics here is equally interesting. A few hours after the counting of votes for the assembly elections began, two names quickly emerged in the political developments in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Vijay Thalapathi in Tamil Nadu and Chief Minister P. Vijayan in Kerala. One had a spectacular victory and the other had a full stop on his return. Let us understand what were the five major reasons for Vijay Thalapathi's victory in Tamil Nadu and what were the reasons for P. Vijayan's loss in Kerala?

Five big reasons for Vijay Thalapathi's victory in Tamil Nadu

1- Strong public relations and popularity

Vijay is already a big film star. His image is very strong among the common people. People consider him as their own. He used his popularity well in politics. Large crowds gathered in his programs. This created an atmosphere in their favor, which later got converted into votes in the ballot boxes.

2- Support of young and new voters

When Vijay announced the political party TVK in the year 2024, he specifically targeted the youth. Youth were seen in large numbers in his rallies. He talked about employment, education and opportunities. His hold on social media also remained strong. Due to this, the youth who voted for the first time were inclined towards him.

3- Image of clean and new politics

Vijay presented himself to the people of Tamil Nadu as a new alternative. He showed a tough stance against corruption. The public felt that he was different from the old leaders. This trust became a big plus point for him. Be it the ruling DMK or Jayalalitha's party ADMK, allegations of corruption have been leveled against the leaders of these parties. Many even went to jail.

4- Focus remained on grassroots issues

Instead of making big promises, Vijay talked about small and important and grassroots issues. Like water, education, health and local problems. People felt that they were being heard. This increased public confidence and they not only came forward and voted themselves but also inspired their loved ones.

5- Made a strong promotional strategy

Vijay's team worked very hard on the promotion. Rallies, digital campaigns and work was done at ground level. The message was kept clear and direct. Due to this, he reached more people and it fell in the ballot boxes in the form of support votes and when the counting of votes started in the morning, the same votes helped Vijay win.

Why did P. Vijayan not return to Kerala? 5 big reasons

1- Controversies on development issues

There were controversies regarding some big projects. The public felt that the pace of development was slow. The impact of many schemes was less visible on the ground. This weakened people's trust. There was also controversy over Vizhinjam International Seaport and projects run by the Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board. Somewhere the reasons were rehabilitation, somewhere environment and somewhere financial scams became the reason.

2- Unemployment and economic pressure

Unemployment remains a major issue in the highly educated state of Kerala. Due to lack of government jobs and good jobs in private sectors, dissatisfaction increased among the youth. Inflation and economic pressure filled the gap and created an atmosphere against the state government.

3- Strong strategy of opposition

The opposition prepared better this time. He strongly raised the shortcomings of the government. Conveyed his message to the public. Due to this the competition became tough and the ruling party became weak. The government remained under constant pressure on law and order. The opposition also did not let it be suppressed for five years.

4- Controversies that harm the image

Some cases and allegations affected the image of the government. There was a lot of discussion on these issues in the media. This shook public confidence. Gold smuggling case, Life Mission Housing Scheme controversy, Sprinklr data deal controversy, K-Rail and many other projects did a strong job in defeating the present government.

5- Anti-incumbency wave in Kerala

P Vijayan has been in power as CM for the last 10 years. Staying in power for a long time naturally increases public resentment. The same effect was seen here also. People desired change. An atmosphere was created against the government.

Vijay's victory in Tamil Nadu and P. Vijayan's defeat in Kerala, both teach us many lessons of politics. People always want change. The leader who remains connected to the public gets support. At the same time, a government which does not live up to the expectations of the people suffers losses. Image, work and constant communication with the public, these three things are most important. Vijay worked on all three. At the same time, shortage was felt in these areas in Kerala, hence the results remained different. Also that nothing is permanent in politics. Every election writes a new story. This is also the beauty of democracy.
