Bharatiya Janata Party is going to form the government in West Bengal with two-thirds majority. BJP government will be formed for the first time in Bengal. Similarly, a new government is going to be formed in Tamil Nadu other than Dravidian politics. Actor-turned-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) surprised everyone by winning a landslide victory. However, this miraculous performance was not enough for Vijay to form the government with majority. Now the same question is echoing in the politics here that from where will Vijay collect the majority figures.
Newcomer leader Vijay, whose TVK party has emerged as the largest party in the Tamil Nadu assembly elections by winning 108 seats, has also written a letter to Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar staking claim to form the government. However, the party also asked for two weeks' time to prove its majority in the assembly. In this way, efforts have started for the formation of a new government after the elections.
After the declaration of assembly election results, TVK has won 108 seats in the 234-seat Tamil Nadu Assembly, although the party does not have the required number of seats for an absolute majority. Here, any party or alliance needs 118 seats to form the government, which was not achieved this time, hence a situation of hung assembly has been created in Tamil Nadu.
TVK won a total of 108 seats, but the party actually has 107 seats, this is because Vijay has won from 2 different seats (Perambur and Trichy East), and the Election Commission will consider only one of these two seats. Another seat will have to be left for which elections will be held later. In such a situation, TVK will need 11 more seats to reach the majority figure of 118.
Also, an MLA will have to become the speaker in future. Under normal circumstances the Speaker does not vote. In this case the number will remain 106. However, the Speaker votes only in case of a tie during voting. In this way, TVK Party will need the support of 12 MLAs.
It is believed that after the victory, TVK is trying to gather majority. She is busy gathering support from other political parties. Also, it can try to make a dent in big parties like AIADMK or DMK. In the DMK-led alliance, DMK alone has 59 seats while Congress has 5, VCK has 2, CPI and CPI-M have 2 seats each, Muslim League has 2 and DMDK has 1 seat. Apart from this, PMK has 4 seats, Bharatiya Janata Party has 1 seat, AMMKMNKZ has 1 seat. AIADMK has 47 seats.
On the other hand, between the election results coming, Vijay's father S.A. Chandrashekhar made an open appeal for alliance with Congress. Referring to the current situation of Congress, Chandrashekhar said, "Congress has a history and tradition. Why is such a Congress weakening? Because of lack of power." He said, "By supporting any party, they are becoming weak. We will give them strength, not us, but we are ready to give them victory."
Meanwhile, in his letter to the Governor, Vijay formally requested that his party be invited to form the government, and also sought 15 days' time to prove majority in the Assembly. After the letter was submitted to the Governor, curiosity is increasing as to when the Governor will invite him to form the government.
Meanwhile, security has been tightened in Neelankarai area, where Vijay's house is located. More than 100 policemen have been deployed and are actively engaged in security duty. journalists and other people
