TVK Fans Got Caught Red-Handed Faking Times of India Polls to Create Fake Hype for 2026 – Here’s How Low They’ve Sunk
Look, every new party wants to look strong. But when your supporters start inventing poll numbers out of thin air and slapping a reputable newspaper’s logo on them, you’ve crossed from hype into straight-up deception. That’s exactly what’s happening with Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) right now.
Fans and handles loyal to actor-turned-politician Vijay are flooding social media with a juicy claim: “43% of youngsters aged 22-35 are ready to vote for TVK in the 2026 tamil Nadu assembly elections – according to Times of India.” Sounds killer on paper. There’s just one problem. It’s complete garbage.
1. Times of india never published this poll – and they’ve said it loud and clear.
The newspaper has officially denied running any such survey. No data, no fieldwork, no story. Zero. Yet the fake graphic keeps circulating like wildfire, complete with the TOI logo and dramatic red text screaming “43% VOTE SHARE.” That’s not enthusiasm. That’s forgery dressed up as news.
2. This isn’t one rogue fan – it’s a coordinated flood of lies.
TVK supporters across Facebook, Instagram, X, and whatsapp groups are blasting the same fake image. Many are using dummy pages that impersonate The Times of India. Same font, same branding, same lie. When one gets debunked, another pops up. It’s not organic excitement; it’s a deliberate campaign to manufacture momentum for a party that’s still finding its feet.
3. The desperation is off the charts.
Real polls show TVK has traction among youth, sure. Genuine TOI stories have talked about Vijay’s appeal to Gen Z and potential vote shares in pockets of Chennai. But 43% of an entire age group? That’s the kind of number you invent when your actual ground reality isn’t impressive enough. Instead of building real support, they’re Photoshopping it.
4. Fake pages, fake credibility, real damage.
These bogus “Times of India” handles aren’t harmless memes. They’re tricking regular voters – especially young ones – into believing a wave is coming when it’s just smoke and mirrors. Every share, every forward, every “See, even TOI says so!” comment adds another layer of deception. And when the actual election numbers come out, the backlash is going to sting.
5. This isn’t how serious politics works.
Parties that believe in their message don’t need to fake polls. They let their work speak. TVK’s supporters are so scared of looking weak that they’re willing to risk credibility, spread misinformation, and drag a major newspaper’s name through the mud. If this is how they campaign before the real fight even begins, imagine what 2026 is going to look like.
Bottom line:
If you saw that “43% youth for TVK” post and felt a rush of hope (or schadenfreude), delete it. Share the fact-check instead. Because fake numbers might feel good in the moment, but they collapse the second the truth hits – and right now, Times of india just hit hard.
TVK fans, if you’re reading this: Want real momentum? Earn it on the ground. Stop faking it in the comments. The voters aren’t stupid – and neither is the internet.
