His party emerged as the leading force in the recent assembly elections, winning 108 seats but initially falling short of the 118 required for a majority. Over the course of five days, Vijay engaged in discussions with various political allies, including the Congress party, the Communist Party of India (CPI), and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI-M), ultimately securing support from 120 MLAs. After presenting the necessary letters of support to Governor Rajendra Arlekar, Vijay was officially appointed as Chief Minister.
