C Joseph Vijay, who recently took office as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, is facing a critical floor test in the state Assembly to confirm his party, the Tamil Nadu Vanniyar Katchi (TVK), holds a majority. The party secured 108 seats in the recent elections held on May 4, but it requires 117 seats to establish a majority. Support from smaller parties, including the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), along with the Congress party, has raised hopes for Vijay. However, the situation is complicated by a faction of the AIADMK party, which has pledged support to Vijay, causing concern over potential violations of the anti-defection law. As Vijay dropped one of his two elected seats, the effective strength of the TVK has been reduced to 105 seats for the floor test. The outcome today will be pivotal for the political future of Vijay and his government in Tamil Nadu.
