Political dynamics in Tamil Nadu are shifting as Congress considers supporting the Tamil Nadu Vanniyar Katchi (TVK) led by Vijay to form the next state government. This comes after TVK's request for assistance following its win of 108 seats in the 234-member Assembly, where it requires at least 10 additional MLAs to secure a majority. DMK spokesperson Saravanan Annadurai's social media post, cryptically titled 'Backstabbers,' has raised questions about its implications, potentially aimed at Congress or other political entities. Congress has reiterated its commitment to a secular government and has opposed any involvement of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the formation process. Following a meeting of top Congress leaders, including party president Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, the final decision on supporting TVK has been delegated to the Tamil Nadu unit, reflecting the party's sensitivity to local sentiments. The DMK, which previously allied with Congress and won 59 seats, and the AIADMK, which secured 47 seats, are also key players in this evolving political landscape.
