Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) is currently in negotiations to secure 11 additional seats necessary to form a government in Tamil Nadu, having won 108 seats in the recent elections. The party is seeking support from smaller parties and former allies of the DMK-led alliance. Congress has become the first major party to back TVK, but their support comes with political conditions, specifically the exclusion of 'communal forces' like the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Amidst this political maneuvering, Vijay's bodyguard, Aroon Suresh, encouraged supporters to stay patient, suggesting that a larger plan is in motion. The VCK (Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi) is anticipated to formally announce its support for TVK, which could significantly enhance Vijay's chances of reaching the majority threshold of 118 seats in the 234-member Assembly. This unfolding political drama has also garnered attention from several Kollywood celebrities, including actor Vishal, who voiced concerns about potential outcomes if TVK does not succeed.
