Following a historic electoral victory, actor-turned-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) is gearing up to form the government in Tamil Nadu. The party secured 108 seats, just 10 short of the majority needed in the state assembly. TVK plans to formally write to the Governor, requesting up to two weeks to demonstrate its majority. Sources indicate that the party is optimistic about securing support from key allies, including the Congress, which holds five seats, and other parties like the CPI and CPM, which have two seats each. This potential alliance could signal a shift in the existing DMK-Congress partnership, which has been under strain. While TVK is also considering support from the AIADMK's ally, the PMK, a direct alliance with AIADMK is unlikely due to its connections with the BJP, whom Vijay has criticized. If successful, the new government could be sworn in as early as May 7, marking a significant political realignment in Tamil Nadu.
