Kamal Haasan (president of the Makkal Needhi Maiyam party) stated that not inviting Vijay (leader of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam) to form the government in Tamil Nadu would disrespect the electoral mandate. In the recent Assembly elections, no party secured a majority, resulting in a unique political scenario. Haasan highlighted that the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam won 108 seats and is currently supported by Congress MLAs, bringing their total to 112 seats, just five short of the majority needed in the 234-member Assembly. He commended outgoing Chief Minister MK Stalin for his mature response to the election results, emphasizing the need for constitutional authorities to uphold democratic principles by allowing the largest party to stake a claim. Haasan referenced the Supreme Court's ruling in the S.R. Bommai case, which stated that a majority must be proven in the Assembly, not through the Governor. Meanwhile, Vijay is actively pursuing the opportunity to form the government, meeting with Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar to discuss the situation.
