Actor Vijay, head of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), is making strides towards forming the next government in Tamil Nadu. After a successful election where his party won 108 out of 234 seats, Vijay has reportedly secured support from five Congress members, as well as two each from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) and the Left parties, surpassing the majority mark of 118 seats. This development follows a series of meetings with Tamil Nadu Governor RV Arlekar, who has previously questioned Vijay's capacity to govern with only 113 MLAs. Despite these challenges, Vijay's coalition is gaining traction as traditional parties like the DMK and AIADMK face competition from the newly established TVK, which has broken their long-standing dominance in the state.
