Vijay, leader of the Tamil Nadu-based party Tamilaga Velai Thunai Katchi (TVK), has indicated that all 108 MLAs from his party may resign if the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), led by MK Stalin, or the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), headed by Edappadi K. Palaniswami, attempt to form a government. This warning comes amid ongoing political negotiations following the recent Assembly elections, where the TVK emerged as the single-largest party. Governor RV Arlekar has not invited Vijay to form a government, citing a lack of majority, despite Vijay claiming support from 113 MLAs, including five from the Congress party. Legal experts have raised concerns about the Governor's role, referencing the Supreme Court's ruling in the SR Bommai vs Union of India case, which asserts that the Assembly floor is the appropriate venue to test majority support. Should the TVK MLAs resign, it could result in bypolls for the 108 vacant seats. If neither the DMK nor AIADMK can form a government, the Assembly may be dissolved, leading to fresh elections and the imposition of President's Rule in Tamil Nadu.
