In Tamil Nadu, the political landscape has shifted dramatically following the elections, with the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) emerging as a key player despite holding only two seats in the 234-member Assembly. C Joseph Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) won 108 seats but must vacate one constituency, reducing its effective strength. The party initially believed it had enough support, including backing from Congress and Left parties, to form a government. However, the situation became complicated as the VCK hesitated to commit, leading to a series of negotiations that saw fluctuating support from other parties. As of Friday night, TVK's support base stood at 116 seats, still short of the majority. With the Assembly term ending on May 10, the urgency for a resolution is palpable, and without VCK's support, Vijay's path to power is increasingly precarious.
