Tamil Nadu Political Crisis: TVK Party Fails to Reach Majority as AIADMK-DMK Merger Talks Intensify

Similar political equations are likely to emerge in Tamil Nadu, as in Maharashtra. Vijay Joseph's TVK party has won the most seats but is yet to reach a majority. There are talks of a merger between the arch-rival AIADMK and the DMK. According to sources, एम.के Stalin's DMK has offered to support the AIADMK and has set a condition for it. Vijay's TVK, which won 108 seats, has not been able to reach a majority even after four days of results. Governor Arlekar has said that the process of government formation will begin after 118 MLAs have signed. There are now moves to form a new alliance between the arch-rivals AIADMK and DMK. The DMK has put forward a condition in Tamil Nadu, where the AIADMK has won 59 seats and the DMK has won 47 seats, so both parties can win a majority.
