Local fan Delip Saravanan spent yesterday screaming into a pillow after Joseph Vijay secured a political victory in a country Delip hasn’t visited in over a decade.

Delip, who reportedly hasn't looked his own children in the eye recently, claims the millionaire actor becoming a Chief Minister is the greatest achievement of Delip’s own life.

“When Vijay won, it felt like I won,” sobbed the 41-year-old, who earns a mediocre salary while the superstar enjoys a net worth larger than the GDP of some nations.

Despite having zero impact on foreign policy and zero voting rights, Delip celebrated by cutting a cake he bought himself, effectively paying to congratulate a stranger for getting a promotion.

Neighbors report Delip still cannot identify his own Member of Parliament, though he has memorized every frame of the actor’s breakdance sequences.

He remains convinced his parasocial obsession makes him a legitimate political strategist.
