Tamil Nadu Government Formation: After the hung assembly in Tamil Nadu, the suspense regarding government formation is deepening. Vijay-led Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) staked claim to form the government before the Governor, but has been asked to prove the required majority mark (118).
Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK), led by actor-turned-politician Vijay, has emerged as the largest party in the recently held elections by winning 108 seats, but is still short of the required figure of 118 to form the government in the 238-member assembly. In such a situation, the party needs the support of at least 10 more MLAs to gain majority.
TVK can take a big step
Meanwhile, news of possible talks between Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) has intensified the political stir. According to TVK sources, if DMK or AIADMK tries to stake claim to form the government, all 108 party MLAs may resign.
This is being considered a big and aggressive political step, which may further increase instability in the politics of the state. Actually, TVK suspects that DMK led by MK Stalin and AIADMK are together making a strategy to keep Vijay away from power. In view of this, DMK has also authorized Stalin to take emergency political decisions.
Right now the situation in Tamil Nadu is very uncertain, on one hand TVK is trying to gather majority, while on the other hand a possible new alliance can completely change the equation of politics in the state.
TVK sought support from the left
TVK leader CTR Kumar met M. Veerapandian of the Communist Party of India and P. Shanmugam of the Communist Party of India-Marxist and sought support. He stressed that Vijay has already made it clear that power sharing is necessary so that allies can implement their respective policies and ideologies.
According to Kumar, TVK has sent a request for support to the Left parties, Viduthalai Chiruthigal Katchi (VCK) and Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) through emails and formal letters. He expressed confidence that the party will be successful in forming the government in Tamil Nadu.
He also clarified that TVK has not approached the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and has no intention of doing so. Whereas Congress, which has won 5 seats, has already announced its support to TVK.
Kumar said that as per constitutional tradition the Governor should invite the largest party to form the government. He claims that the mandate is in favor of TVK and on this basis Vijay should get the opportunity to become the Chief Minister.
