After the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly elections, the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), led by Vijay, has gathered 108 MLAs at a luxury resort in Mamallapuram to strategize for government formation. Despite emerging as the single largest party, TVK fell 10 seats short of the majority in the 234-member Assembly. The Tamil Nadu Congress has decided to support TVK, marking a significant shift in political alliances. This decision was made during a late-night virtual meeting chaired by Tamil Nadu Congress Committee President K Selvaperunthagai. The Congress party, which holds five seats, is now reconsidering its alliance dynamics, especially as it has previously aligned with the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) in the INDIA bloc. TVK is also looking to gain support from smaller parties to solidify its position in the Assembly, which could have broader implications for the political landscape ahead of the 2029 General Elections.
