Vijay, the chief of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), is scheduled to meet Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar at 11 AM to discuss the formation of a new government. TVK achieved a remarkable victory in the recent Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections, securing 108 out of 234 seats, and emerging as the single-largest party. This victory is significant as it ends the long-standing dominance of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), which won 59 and 47 seats respectively. The Congress party has formally pledged its support to TVK, marking a shift in political alliances in the state. Senior Advocate and Congress MP Abhishek Manu Singhvi emphasized that the Governor has no choice but to invite the leader of the largest party to form the government, reinforcing constitutional norms. In a notable development, Vijay won from both Tiruchirapalli East and Perambur constituencies, though he plans to vacate one seat, reducing TVK's effective strength to 107 seats. Meanwhile, AIADMK has stated it will not support TVK's government formation efforts.
