Vijay, the chief of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), is facing uncertainty regarding his oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. Currently, TVK has won 108 seats in the 234-member assembly, falling short of the 118 needed for a majority. Sources indicate that the Governor, Rajendra Arlekar, is not convinced about TVK's claims of majority support. Although TVK has received backing from five Congress MLAs, their combined total of 113 seats is still insufficient. Vijay met with the Governor to formally stake a claim for government formation. Meanwhile, DMK leaders have criticized Congress for shifting support, calling it a short-sighted decision. As TVK seeks additional alliances, including with AIADMK leader Edappadi K Palaniswami, the political dynamics in Tamil Nadu are shifting dramatically, marking the end of a three-decade duopoly between DMK and AIADMK.
