The Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) has unanimously decided to support the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) led by actor-politician Vijay to form a government in Tamil Nadu. TVK emerged as the single largest party in the recent assembly elections, securing 108 seats, but falls short of the 118 needed for a majority. Congress MP KC Venugopal stated that Vijay has requested the Indian National Congress's support, emphasizing a commitment to a secular government that protects the Constitution. The Congress leadership has directed the TNCC to finalize its decision based on the electoral sentiments of the state. Vijay won in both Perambur in Chennai and Tiruchirappalli (East) constituencies, but he must vacate one seat according to Election Commission norms. This could reduce TVK's tally to 107, and potentially 106 once a Speaker is elected, as the Speaker does not vote during confidence motions.
