In Tamil Nadu, Vijay (chief of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, TVK) is scheduled to meet Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar for the third time as he navigates the complexities of forming a government after the recent assembly elections. TVK emerged as the single largest party, securing 108 seats out of 234 in the assembly, but is still short of the 118 seats needed for a majority. The Governor has previously declined Vijay's requests to form the government, citing insufficient majority support. In a bid to strengthen his position, Vijay is expected to present a list of 118 members to the Governor, which includes support from the Communist Party of India (Marxist) and the Communist Party of India. However, the political landscape remains uncertain, with the possibility of a coalition between traditional rivals DMK and AIADMK to thwart TVK's rise. The AIADMK has indicated that it may take action if the Governor denies TVK's request again, while the Tamil Nadu BJP has publicly stated it will not support any new government formation efforts.
