Vijay, the leader of the Tamil Nadu-based Tamil Valvur Katchi (TVK) party, is set to take the oath of office as Chief Minister on Saturday at 11 AM, likely at Lok Bhavan. This follows his third meeting with Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar to assert his claim to form the new government. His path to leadership was marked by significant political maneuvering, culminating in support from the Left parties and the VCK, which allowed him to surpass the majority threshold. The Communist Party of India (CPI) and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) have publicly stated they will not join the cabinet but will provide external support, particularly during the Motion of Confidence. CPI(M) leader U Vasuki emphasized that their backing is conditional on specific issues related to secularism and state rights. Meanwhile, DMK president MK Stalin has called on the governor to expedite the formation of the new government, underscoring its importance for democratic processes. The recent split between Congress and DMK has also prompted requests for changes in party seating arrangements in the Lok Sabha.
