Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay is set to take oath as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on May 10 at Chennai’s Nehru Stadium after securing majority support from alliance partners and independent MLAs. The Governor cleared government formation following intense political negotiations involving VCK, CPI, CPI(M), Congress, and IUML support. The new government is expected to face a vote of confidence in the Tamil Nadu Assembly by May 13 to formally prove its majority. Vijay’s rise marks a historic political shift in the State, ending decades of dominance by the DMK and AIADMK in Tamil Nadu politics. (PC: The Hindu)
