Vijay received the Governor’s approval to form the government in Tamil Nadu after the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam secured additional backing from the CPI, CPI(M), VCK and IUML. The development ended days of political uncertainty after the Assembly election produced a hung verdict. TVK had initially fallen short of the majority mark despite emerging as the single largest party. Following a meeting between Vijay and the Governor at Lok Bhavan on Friday, support from allied parties helped TVK cross the required threshold to form the government. The move marks a major political breakthrough for Vijay and signals a dramatic shift in Tamil Nadu’s political landscape after the closely contested election. (PC: X)
