Thol Thirumavalavan, the chief of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), revealed that both the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) approached him to consider becoming the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. He claimed this proposal was part of a strategy to form a joint government to prevent the Tamil Nadu Vanniyar Katchi (TVK) from gaining power. However, after discussions with senior leaders within his party, Thirumavalavan decided to reject the proposal. His comments come amid political turmoil, particularly as some AIADMK MLAs are opposing party leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami for allegedly trying to align with the DMK against the TVK. The DMK has firmly denied Thirumavalavan's claims, asserting that no such discussions took place. As the political situation evolves, Thirumavalavan explained that the VCK took time to deliberate before announcing support for the TVK, emphasizing the need for thorough internal consultation.
