The Tamil Nadu Congress organized statewide protests on Friday against Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar and the BJP-led Union government, accusing them of delaying the invitation for Vijay, leader of the Tamil Valvur Katchi (TVK), to form the government. Despite the TVK winning 108 seats in the 234-member Assembly, it fell short of a simple majority, leading to a fractured verdict. Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president K Selvaperunthagai stated that the Governor is acting under pressure from the BJP, which undermines the democratic process. The protests involved senior leaders and party members at district headquarters, emphasizing the demand for Vijay to be invited to prove his majority in the Assembly. The ongoing political uncertainty in Tamil Nadu has prompted intense negotiations as parties seek clarity on the next government formation.
