The Congress party has announced that Thiru Vijay, the leader of the Tamilaga Vazhvurimai Katchi (TVK), has requested their support in forming a government in Tamil Nadu. Following the assembly elections, Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and K C Venugopal, met to discuss the political landscape and confirmed their commitment to a secular government. The TVK secured 108 seats in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly but requires the backing of 10 MLAs to achieve a simple majority. Congress, which won five seats, is determined to prevent the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from exerting influence in the state's governance. The recent election results show the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) winning 59 seats and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) obtaining 47 seats, while the BJP managed to secure only one seat.
