Actor Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), which has created immense anticipation in Tamil Nadu politics, is ready to face its first electoral battle. The Election Commission of India (ECI) has officially allotted the ‘Whistle’ symbol requested by the party for the upcoming 2026 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly elections.

Key Highlights:

Common Symbol: Although TVK is a registered unrecognised party, it has been granted a Common Symbol to ensure it can contest under the same identity across all 234 constituencies in Tamil Nadu.

Top Choice: The ‘Whistle’ was at the top of the list of 10 preferred symbols submitted by the party leadership to the Election Commission.

Party Morale: Supporters are in high spirits as President Vijay secured the exact symbol he desired.

Securing a single symbol across the state is viewed as a significant victory for a new party, as it helps establish a clear identity among voters easily. The ‘Whistle’ symbol is seen as a sign of awareness and signaling. TVK is likely to project it as a symbol for ‘Whistleblowers’ against corruption or as a signal for a ‘New Beginning.’
