Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay has met Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Arlekar to stake his claim to form the government. This development comes after his party emerged as the single largest party in the 234-member state assembly, securing 108 seats. However, falling short of the majority mark of 118 seats, the party is now relying on support from other political outfits to reach the required numbers.
Congress Extends Formal Support
The Congress party has already signalled its backing through a formal letter. Earlier, Tamil Nadu Congress leaders held key consultations with Vijay to discuss the political scenario and the way forward. This support is seen as a crucial boost for Vijay's bid to become the next Chief Minister.
Potential Oath on May 7
Reports suggest that Vijay may take the oath of office as Chief Minister on May 7, marking a major political transition in Tamil Nadu. The state appears set for a new era under his leadership, pending the finalisation of alliances and the governor's approval.
The meeting with the governor and the Congress backing have strengthened Vijay's position, but he still needs to secure additional support from other parties or independents to form a stable government. Political analysts are closely watching the developments as Tamil Nadu gears up for what could be a historic change in its political landscape.
