Tamil Nadu’s post-election political drama intensified after reports suggested that the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi chief could become a consensus Chief Minister candidate in a possible alliance involving the AIADMK and DMK. The move reportedly emerged amid efforts to block actor-politician Vijay and his Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam from forming the government after a fractured mandate. However, negotiations faced resistance, with alliance arithmetic and leadership disagreements complicating the plan. Meanwhile, VCK later extended support to Vijay’s TVK, helping the party move closer to the majority mark needed to form the government, significantly reshaping Tamil Nadu’s political landscape.
