In Tamil Nadu, the political landscape is shifting as the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) reportedly engages in backchannel discussions with the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) to potentially form a government. This comes in response to Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), which has claimed 108 seats in the 234-member Assembly but remains 10 seats short of a majority. The Congress party's unexpected decision to support TVK has further complicated matters, leading DMK to accuse Congress of betrayal. AIADMK Deputy Coordinator K.P. Munusamy has confirmed that AIADMK will not support TVK under any circumstances, indicating a deepening political divide. The rise of TVK has disrupted Tamil Nadu's traditional two-party system, creating a new three-cornered political dynamic that is still evolving, with delays in government formation becoming increasingly likely.
