The political landscape in Tamil Nadu witnessed a dramatic shift as Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) unseated the ruling DMK with a surprising electoral win. M K Stalin resigned as Chief Minister, asserting that the DMK will serve robustly in the opposition.
Despite TVK's leader Vijay lacking a simple majority, he expressed confidence to form a government. With only 108 seats in the 234-member assembly, TVK seeks alliances to bridge the shortfall. Arrangements are underway for TVK legislators to participate in the swearing-in ceremony, as Vijay looks forward to taking office.
The political developments have prompted attempts at coalition-building, with TVK extending feelers to Congress for support. Meanwhile, parties like VCK, CPI(M), and DMDK mull their positions amidst the evolving political scenario. TVK's rise within two years of its founding marks a new chapter in Tamil Nadu's political narrative.
