In Tamil Nadu, during the confidence vote for the newly formed Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) government led by Chief Minister Joseph Vijay, Udhayanidhi Stalin (Leader of Opposition from the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, DMK) declared that his party would walk out. He expressed concerns over the government's stability, stating that many voters feel they made a 'grave error' in supporting the TVK. Stalin emphasized the need for a 'secular government' and criticized the ruling party for not fulfilling election promises. The TVK, which emerged as the largest party with 108 seats in the assembly, is still short of the 118 needed for a majority. However, it has garnered support from parties including Congress and the Indian Union Muslim League, bringing its coalition strength to 120 seats. Meanwhile, DMK allies also voiced their dissent, particularly regarding the lack of Muslim representation in the cabinet.
