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.

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.

Vijay’s Political Rise: What Worked in Tamil Nadu Elections 2026 The Tamil Nadu Assembly Election Results 2026 have marked a turning point in the state’s political landscape, with Vijay emerging as a dominant force. His party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), has become the single largest party, setting him apart from other film stars who entered politics but failed to achieve similar success. One of the key factors behind Vijay’s rise was his clear and committed approach to politics. Unlike earlier actors, he signalled seriousness by stepping away from his film career and positioning himself as a full-time political leader. This helped build trust among voters who were previously skeptical of celebrity entries into politics. Another major factor was the creation of a distinct political identity. TVK avoided alliances with established parties like the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, allowing Vijay to present himself as a fresh alternative. His campaign strongly focused on anti-corruption messaging and governance, which resonated particularly with young and urban voters. Vijay also benefited from years of groundwork through his extensive fan network. His supporters had been active across the state through social initiatives, effectively functioning as a grassroots political structure even before the party’s formal launch. This ensured a strong on-ground presence and voter outreach. In contrast, Rajinikanth delayed his political entry and eventually stepped back, failing to convert his popularity into electoral success. Kamal Haasan, despite forming a party and contesting elections, struggled to gain widespread support beyond limited urban pockets. Another advantage for Vijay was his appeal among younger voters. At a relatively younger age compared to his contemporaries, he connected well with a large segment of the electorate, especially first-time voters and youth. Vijay’s success in the 2026 elections reflects a combination of clear strategy, grassroots mobilisation, and strong voter connection. His rise signals a shift in Tamil Nadu politics, where a new generation of leadership is beginning to challenge traditional political forces.
