Congress MP Rahul Gandhi congratulated Tamil Nadu leader and actor Vijay for his party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam's (TVK) big victory in its maiden contest in the southern state. Gandhi said the mandate reflects the "rising voice of youth" and thanked Congress workers for their campaign in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. The TVK won 108 seats, 10 short of the majority mark, amid speculation over a possible alliance to be forged by the party.
