🔥 The TVK MLA Who Defeated M.K. Stalin in Kolathur
V.S. Babu’s political significance increased considerably after the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly election.
Babu contested the prestigious Kolathur Assembly constituency on a TVK ticket against then Chief Minister M.K. Stalin.
In a closely watched contest, Babu secured 82,997 votes, while M.K. Stalin received 74,202 votes.
Babu therefore won the constituency by a margin of 8,795 votes.
The result was considered one of the major upsets of the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly election.
⚡ A Major Setback for Stalin in His Stronghold
Kolathur had become closely associated with M.K. Stalin’s political career. Stalin had represented the constituency in the 2011, 2016 and 2021 Assembly elections.
The 2026 result changed that political equation dramatically, with TVK’s V.S. Babu defeating the former Chief Minister in his own constituency.
Babu’s victory consequently became one of the most discussed results of the election, particularly because of the profile of his opponent.
👤 V.S. Babu’s Political Journey
V.S. Babu is not new to electoral politics.
He had earlier served as an MLA from Purasawalkam and was associated with the DMK during his earlier political career. He later joined Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) and was given the challenging responsibility of contesting against M.K. Stalin in Kolathur.
His victory in 2026 gave him a prominent position in Tamil Nadu’s new political landscape.
