TVK claims 30% vote share in internal survey, Over 24 lakh names excluded from Kerala's draft electoral roll

An internal survey by actor Vijay's Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) predicted a significant 30% vote share for the party in the 2026 state elections, positioning it near the DMK (32.9%) and ahead of the AIADMK (27.3%). This came as Union Minister Piyush Goyal met with AIADMK chief Edappadi K. Palaniswami in Chennai to begin seat-sharing talks for the election. A major political row has also erupted over remarks by Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi in Berlin, where he alleged unfair elections in India. The bulletin also provides updates on the lynching of migrant worker Ram Narayan in Palakkad, Kerala, which has sparked a political dispute between the BJP and CPIM. In sports news, a Vijay Hazare Trophy match featuring Virat Kohli at Bengaluru's Chinnaswamy Stadium was cancelled due to safety concerns.
