An unexpected turn is taking place in the politics of Tamil Nadu. TVK chief Vijay has started preparations to form the next government in Tamil Nadu. He met the Governor of Tamil Nadu and staked claim to form the government. However, permission has not been received from the Governor to form the government. Vijay has the support of 113 MLAs, while the support of 118 MLAs is needed to form the government.
Despite Congress' promise of support, Vijay still does not have enough numbers to form the government. His party, which has emerged as the largest party after the assembly elections, needs at least 10 seats to reach the majority mark of 118 seats. It has increased its tally to 113 with 5 Congress seats.
However, the support of 5 more members is still required. Apart from Congress, it is not clear who else will be in Vijay's team, including independent candidates. TVK is counting on the support of DMK's other key allies, CPI (two seats), CPM (two seats) and VCK (two seats). Left parties have made an important announcement in this matter.
This is shocking news for Vijay that leftist parties have issued a statement refusing to support Vijay. Left parties CPI and CPM have announced that they will remain in the DMK alliance. Sources say that in such circumstances, the next step is for Vijay to prove majority in his government.
Sources say that Vijay has verbally said that at present he has the support of 118 people but he has not given the letter of support from these parties. For this reason, there is little possibility of Vijay taking oath as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on Thursday (May 7). It is being told that the Governor has sent the TVK leaders back. He has been told that it would be better to take oath only after getting the certificate of support of 118 MLAs required for majority in the Assembly.
