VCK Criticises TVK’s Outreach Strategy Amid Tamil Nadu Political Deadlock Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) has strongly criticised Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) over its approach to seeking political support amid the ongoing government formation deadlock in Tamil Nadu. VCK leaders accused TVK of showing arrogance and questioned why party chief Vijay did not personally engage with alliance partners during the crucial post-election phase. VCK general secretary Sinthanai Selvan alleged that TVK functionaries relied on WhatsApp messages to seek support instead of holding direct discussions with leaders of parties whose backing is essential to form the government. He said Vijay should have adopted a more consultative approach given the fragile political situation. Selvan also criticised what he described as an aggressive tone from sections of the TVK leadership after the election results. He questioned the party’s stance against “dynastic politics” while reportedly seeking support from parties aligned with the Indian National Congress and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam. Further targeting TVK’s strategy, the VCK leader objected to remarks allegedly made by some TVK functionaries about VCK cadres and accused certain leaders of using Vijay’s popularity to advance political agendas against the DMK. He also criticised the practice of moving MLAs to resorts after the election, calling it a return of “resort politics” in the state. TVK has emerged as the single-largest party in the Assembly elections but remains short of the majority mark required to form the government. The political situation in Tamil Nadu remains fluid, with parties continuing to explore alliance options and support arrangements.

TVK Denies MLA Resignation Rumours Amid Tamil Nadu Government Formation Talks Leaders of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) have strongly denied rumours claiming that the party’s MLAs were planning a mass resignation amid the ongoing political uncertainty in Tamil Nadu. Party functionaries said no such discussions had taken place and dismissed the reports as baseless speculation. A senior TVK leader said the party is focused on exploring options to form the government after emerging as a key force in the Assembly elections. According to the leader, TVK is seeking support from parties including the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Communist Party of India (CPI), and Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM) to reach the majority mark. The party is also examining legal options related to the government formation process and the possibility of proving majority on the Assembly floor. TVK leaders rejected suggestions that the party might resign and push for fresh elections, questioning the rationale behind such a move after securing a significant mandate. At present, TVK has the backing of the Indian National Congress MLAs, taking its tally closer to the required majority. Meanwhile, Left parties and the VCK are expected to hold further discussions before announcing their stance on extending support to the party.

Chinese Oil Tanker Attacked Near Strait of Hormuz Amid Rising Gulf Tensions A Chinese-owned oil tanker came under attack near the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, marking the first reported assault on a Chinese-linked vessel since tensions between the United States and Iran escalated earlier this year. The incident has heightened concerns over maritime security and the stability of global energy supply routes in the Middle East. The damaged vessel was identified as the Marshall Islands-flagged JV Innovation, which reportedly caught fire while sailing off the coast of the United Arab Emirates. Maritime sources said the ship issued distress signals after flames were seen on its deck, though there was no immediate confirmation of casualties among crew members. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most critical oil transit routes, handling nearly 20 percent of global oil and gas shipments. Shipping activity in the corridor has faced increasing disruption as regional tensions have intensified, with several vessels affected and insurers and operators raising security alerts for transit through the Gulf. The latest attack comes amid a broader pattern of threats to commercial shipping in the region. Multiple recent incidents involving merchant vessels have been reported, adding to concerns among global shipping firms over crew safety and cargo security. Diplomatic efforts are underway to ease tensions, with Wang Yi holding talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on maritime security and restoring safe trade routes through the Hormuz corridor.

Vijay Seeks Two Weeks to Prove Majority Amid Tamil Nadu Govt Formation Deadlock Chennai | May 7, 2026: Vijay has reportedly sought two weeks from Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Arlekar to prove majority in the Assembly as uncertainty continues over government formation. The request followed his meeting with the Governor at Lok Bhavan amid intense political activity in the state. The Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) emerged as the single-largest party with 108 seats in the 234-member Assembly but remains short of the majority mark. The Indian National Congress has extended support, taking the alliance closer to the required numbers. However, the Governor has reportedly asked for documentary proof of majority before extending an invitation to form the government. According to sources, Vijay submitted a list of supporting MLAs and sought additional time to secure backing from regional parties and independents. TVK leaders have also reached out to the Communist Party of India (CPI), Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), and Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) for support. The delay in inviting Vijay to form the government triggered protests by TVK cadres outside Lok Bhavan, with supporters urging the Governor to allow a floor test. Congress leaders also backed the move, stating that the majority should be proven in the Assembly. With political negotiations intensifying and reports of MLAs being shifted to resorts adding to the drama, the focus now remains on whether Vijay can secure enough support and the Governor’s next move in the government formation process.
