Keerthana, sister of Vijay (C. Joseph Vijay), the leader of the Tamil Nadu-based Tamil Maanila Congress (TVK), expressed heartfelt gratitude as speculation mounts regarding her brother's potential oath-taking as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. Speaking to the media outside their Chennai residence, she said, “We feel so happy and great,” thanking supporters for their encouragement. Despite the positive sentiments, the political landscape remains uncertain. The TVK secured 108 seats in the 234-member Assembly, but Vijay requires additional backing to surpass the 117-seat majority needed for a government formation. While the Congress and the Communist Party of India (CPI) have pledged support, the situation shifted dramatically when the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) reaffirmed its allegiance to the DMK-led alliance, complicating Vijay's path to leadership. The VCK party's decision is still pending, adding to the suspense surrounding the swearing-in ceremony.
