In Tamil Nadu, Vijay has rejected Anbumani Ramadoss’s demand for the Deputy Chief Minister post for his wife, Sowmiya. This rejection intensifies tensions in coalition talks following the recent elections.
The Tamil Nadu Victory Alliance (TVK), led by Vijay, secured 106 seats in the 2026 Assembly elections. However, they need 12 more seats to claim a majority. Anbumani Ramadoss’s PMK won only 5 seats.
Vijay has requested a 14-day deadline to prove majority. He communicated this to Governor Rajendra Arlekar as part of his efforts to form the government.
TVK is currently in discussions with Congress, CPI, CPM, and VCK about potential alliances. The outcome of these talks remains uncertain.
This election marks a significant turning point in Tamil Nadu politics. Observers are keenly watching how these developments will unfold.
