TN Government Formation News LIVE: Third Time's a Charm? Vijay Likely to Meet Governor Rajendra Arlekar at 4:30 Pm Today
After two meetings with TVK chief C. Joseph Vijay, Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar said the party has not shown the support needed to form a government.
- On Thursday, Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar declined to invite C. Joseph Vijay, president of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam , to form the government, stating the party failed to establish requisite majority support in the State Assembly.
- Although the TVK emerged as the single largest party with 108 seats, the Indian National Congress extended post-poll support, bringing the coalition tally to only 113, leaving the alliance six seats short of the 118 required for majority.
- Critics, including VCK leader Thirumavalavan, argued the Governor should invite the single-largest party, asserting that majority support must be proven on the Legislative Assembly floor, not at Raj Bhavan before forming the government.
- DMK leader M.K. Stalin said Wednesday that Vijay should be allowed to form the government, pledging that the DMK would not disturb the administration for six months, citing the emotional investment of Tamil people.
- Kamal cited the Bommai case in a post on X, noting that 233 elected members are yet to take the oath and arguing that requiring majority proof before the Governor disrespects the democratic mandate.
