Following the recent elections in Tamil Nadu, which resulted in a hung Assembly, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party has rejected proposals from the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) to form a coalition government. DMK leaders stated their commitment to remaining in opposition, emphasizing their respect for the electoral mandate. AIADMK's deputy general secretary K.P. Munusamy confirmed that his party would not support the Tamil Nadu Vanniyar Katchi (TVK), which is attempting to form a government. TVK chief Vijay has met with Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar to stake a claim to govern, but the Governor has requested proof of majority support from 118 MLAs in the 234-member Assembly. Meanwhile, the Congress party has cut ties with the DMK and is offering conditional support to the TVK, while other DMK allies are deliberating their positions.
