In Tamil Nadu, political tensions have intensified between Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) and the Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) led by TTV Dhinakaran over a letter of support for TVK's government formation. Dhinakaran accused TVK of submitting a forged letter from AMMK's lone MLA, S Kamaraj, which he claimed was a case of horse trading. In response, TVK refuted these allegations, asserting that Kamaraj had voluntarily expressed support for their party. The ongoing political drama comes amid a hung assembly, where TVK has secured 108 seats and requires one more seat to reach the 118-seat majority threshold in the 234-seat assembly. The party has received backing from smaller parties like the CPI, CPI(M), and Congress, but the crucial support from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) is still pending. This situation highlights the shifting dynamics in Tamil Nadu politics as TVK aims to become the first non-DMK and non-AIADMK chief minister since 1967.
