Actor-politician Vijay received a major political boost after the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) officially extended support to Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), helping the party cross the crucial 118-seat majority mark in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly. Congress, CPI and CPI(M) had already backed TVK following the fractured election verdict. With the support letters in place, Vijay is expected to formally stake claim to form the next government before Governor Rajendra Arlekar. The dramatic alliance shift marks a historic moment in Tamil Nadu politics, with Vijay now poised to become Chief Minister after TVK’s stunning electoral debut. (PC: NDTV)
