She emphasized that the people have chosen Vijay as their leader and he should take charge. However, the Tamil Nadu Vanniyar Katchi (TVK), which Vijay represents, secured 108 seats in the 234-member assembly but requires additional support to achieve the majority of 117 seats needed to form a government.
