The AIADMK party, under the leadership of Edappadi K. Palaniswami, initially extended an offer of unconditional support to the Tamil Nadu-based TVK party to help form a government. However, after receiving no response from TVK since Wednesday noon, AIADMK decided to withdraw its offer. The discussions began when TVK, which secured 108 seats in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly, sought support after failing to achieve a majority. AIADMK, which won 47 seats, expressed frustration at TVK's handling of the situation. Meanwhile, Congress has offered conditional support to TVK, insisting that it must distance itself from communal forces. The situation remains fluid as VCK, CPI, and CPM are also deliberating their positions regarding support for TVK, with decisions expected soon.
