Vijay Reaches Out To New Party As Stalemate With Governor Extends Wait

Actor Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), the architect behind the latest election blockbuster in Tamil Nadu, has reached out to one more MLA amid growing uncertainty over government formation. The TVK is learnt to have sought the support of Kamaraj S, the lone winning candidate of the Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK), led by TTV Dhinakaran.

The TVK’s move comes amid a stalemate with Governor RV Arlekar, who remains unconvinced that the party can run an administration despite falling short of the required majority. The TVK is confident that it would have the required majority by tomorrow, party insiders say.

The TVK has scripted history by ending the Dravidian giants DMK and AIADMK’s 62-year-old stranglehold on the Tamil Nadu government, winning 108 out of 234 seats. The halfway mark being 118, he needs 10 more MLAs in his support to form the government.
