The Election Commission of India (ECI) has granted official registration to the Tamizhaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), a political party founded by Tamil film actor Vijay. Following the registration, the party was assigned the 'whistle' as its designated symbol for upcoming electoral contests. This development marks a significant milestone in the party's transition from an organizational structure to a formal participant in the Indian political landscape.

Following the announcement, Vijay expressed his gratitude to the public, acknowledging the support received during the registration process. The formal recognition allows the party to contest elections under a unified banner and symbol, providing a clearer identity for voters. While the party has been active in building its grassroots presence, this regulatory approval is a necessary step for the TVK to participate in future legislative elections in Tamil Nadu. The ECI's decision follows standard procedural reviews required for all new political organizations seeking formal status in India.
