Vijay, the Chief of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), met with Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Arlekar on Thursday, marking their second meeting in two days. This discussion centers on TVK's push to form a government after emerging as the single-largest party in the assembly elections with 108 seats out of 234. However, this number falls short of the 118 seats required for a majority. During the meeting, TVK reiterated its confidence in proving its numbers in the assembly. They have sought legal counsel and requested the governor to reconsider their bid for government formation, citing precedents where the largest party was allowed to stake a claim without an outright majority. If the governor remains unconvinced, TVK may consider approaching the Madras High Court to further their ambitions of forming a government.
