In a dramatic turn of events in Tamil Nadu's political landscape, TTV Dhinakaran (leader of the AMMK party) accused the Tamil Nadu Vizhithunai Katchi (TVK) of forgery and horse-trading after reports emerged that his lone MLA was backing actor-politician Vijay. Dhinakaran claimed that the support letter submitted by TVK was either a forgery or an attempt to manipulate political loyalties. He stated that he and his MLA, S. Kamaraj, have submitted their support to the AIADMK, led by former chief minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami, who Dhinakaran hopes will return to power. Despite TVK's claim of support from 116 MLAs, sources indicate that Vijay is still short of the majority needed to form a government, leading to uncertainty in the state's political future. The Congress party, which supports TVK, has also taken precautionary measures by sequestering its five Tamil Nadu MLAs in Hyderabad.
