Tamil Nadu CM Announcement Live Updates: No Governor-Vijay Meet Today: Lok Bhavan Sources
Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar has not met MK Stalin’s TVK alliance leader MK Vijay to finalize government formation, leaving the fate of the state’s leadership uncertain despite TVK securing 118 MLAs with support from parties like VCK, CPI, and Congress. The BJP and DMK have rejected cooperation with TVK, while smaller parties and independents hold the key, and AIADMK MLAs have reportedly been relocated amid political turmoil.
Tamil Nadu’s political crisis deepened as Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar did not meet MK Vijay, leader of the TVK alliance, on the expected date to formalize government formation. The alliance, backed by VCK chief Thol. Thirumavalavan’s support letter and MLAs from CPI, CPI(M), VCK, and Congress (5 MLAs), claims to have reached the 118-seat threshold required to form the government. The BJP and DMK have rejected any alliance with TVK, with the BJP’s Tamil Nadu chief stating they will have ‘no ties’ with the group. Akhilesh Yadav, Congress leader, has reaffirmed support for the DMK, while the DMK criticized Congress for backing TVK, calling the INDIA bloc ‘collapsed’ in the state. Smaller parties and independents now play a decisive role amid uncertainty. TVK has reportedly threatened mass resignations of MLAs if the government is not formed promptly. Meanwhile, AIADMK MLAs have been moved to Puducherry resorts, raising concerns about their allegiance. A plea has been filed in the Supreme Court arguing that Arlekar’s actions amount to an unconstitutional determination of majority outside the Assembly. The political stalemate hinges on Arlekar’s decision, with TVK awaiting formal recognition to stake its claim. The situation remains fluid as parties navigate alliances and potential defections in Tamil Nadu’s high-stakes government formation process.
