In the recent Tamil Nadu elections, Vijay's party, the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), secured 108 seats in the 234-member Assembly, falling short of the 117-seat majority needed to form a government. Governor Rajendra Arlekar has dissolved the Assembly but is requiring Vijay to demonstrate majority support before he can take the oath of office, delaying the process. Vijay's party must negotiate alliances, as he will resign from one of the two seats he won, effectively reducing the party's strength to 107 seats. The political landscape is complex, with the DMK-led alliance holding 59 seats and the ADMK alliance with 47 seats. Historical guidelines from the Sarkaria and Punchhi commissions outline the Governor's role in such scenarios, emphasizing that the party with the most legislative support should be invited to form the government. Recent controversies have arisen from inconsistent actions by Governors in similar situations, highlighting the challenges faced in hung Assemblies. The outcome of Vijay's potential government formation remains uncertain as discussions continue with smaller parties and potential allies.
