Vijay’s TVK missed a majority after losing ten seats by tiny margins. These areas include Thiruvallur, Ponneri, Tiruttani, Poonamallee, Avadi, Maduravoyal, Ambattur, Madhavaram, Gummidipoondi, and Uthukkottai. In some spots, the gap was just 285 votes. If these had flipped, Vijay would have hit the magic mark easily without needing alliances.
