Tamil Nadu govt formation news LIVE: TVK Vijay had a brief meeting with governor RV Arlekar at Lok Bhavan a short while ago. This is Vijay’s third meeting in three days with the governor after his party, TVK, ended with 108 seats in the assembly polls, a number short of half-way mark by 10.
Vijay-led TVK on Friday managed to secure the majority number of 118 required to form a stable government in Tamil Nadu.
In the wake of the political deadlock following the May 4 assembly election results, here are three ways to rephrase the latest developments in Tamil Nadu:
CPI Pledges Unconditional Support to TVK; Vijay Set to Meet Governor
The Communist Party of India (CPI) has officially extended “unconditional support” to the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) to facilitate government formation in Tamil Nadu. This move comes as TVK chief Vijay prepares to meet Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar this evening to stake his claim.
Despite emerging as the single largest party with 108 seats, the TVK currently sits ten seats short of the 118-seat majority required in the assembly. The path to power became clearer after the Congress, holding five seats, broke ranks with its INDIA alliance partner, the DMK, to align with Vijay. The sudden shift has caused significant friction within the DMK camp, which saw its long-standing dominance uprooted by the TVK’s performance in this election cycle.
