TVK chief Vijay has crossed the majority threshold in the Tamil Nadu Assembly after receiving unconditional support from the VCK (Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi) and IUML (Indian Union Muslim League), bringing his coalition's total to 120 MLAs. This meeting with Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar marks Vijay's fourth attempt to secure an invitation to form the government, following a tumultuous period where the Governor initially withheld support. The political landscape shifted dramatically after the recent assembly elections on April 23, which saw no single party achieve a majority, breaking the long-standing DMK-AIADMK dominance. Vijay, who won two constituencies, is expected to vacate his seat in Trichy while continuing as an MLA from Chennai Perambur, adjusting the assembly's effective strength to 233, thus lowering the majority requirement to 117.
