TVK's Path to Power: Vijay's Bid to Govern Tamil Nadu

TVK chief Vijay stakes claim to form government in Tamil Nadu after falling short of a majority. He met the Governor with party leaders following support from Congress. While attempting alliances with VCK and Left parties, TVK won 108 seats but needs 118 for a majority.

TVK leader Vijay, on Wednesday, sought to form the government in Tamil Nadu by meeting with Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar. Despite winning 108 seats, TVK fell short of the 118 required for an outright majority.

Vijay was accompanied by prominent party figures during the meeting at the Lok Bhavan, which followed a recent expression of support from the Congress party. Discussions with other potential allies, including VCK and Left parties, have yet to yield positive results.

According to party insiders, Vijay is expected to assume the role of Chief Minister on May 7. Meanwhile, other election results included DMK with 59 seats, AIADMK with 47, and Congress with five.
