After Tamil Nadu assembly polls, TVK emerged as the largest party but suspense remains over government formation due to lack of majority. Governor Rajendra Arlekar has asked Vijay to prove support of 118 legislators.
In the 234-member Tamil Nadu assembly, TVK secured 108 seats. With support from five Congress legislators the tally rises to 113, still short of the 118 needed for a majority.
The governor summoned Vijay twice but declined to invite him to form the government without written proof of support. TVK has warned that if DMK and AIADMK join hands to form a government, all its legislators will resign en masse.
Amid reports of a possible DMK-AIADMK alliance, 28 AIADMK legislators have been lodged at a resort in Puducherry. The governor has assured that no other party will be invited without proof of majority.
