Vijay Falls Short of MLAs to Form Tamil Nadu Govt

Tamil Nadu’s post-poll political drama took a late-night twist on Friday as TVK chief Vijay appeared set to take oath as the Chief Minister on Saturday, only for last-minute uncertainty over a crucial support letter from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), forcing Governor Rajendra Arlekar to delay the official swearing-in announcement.

Sources at Lok Bhavan told India Today TV that Arlekar is still awaiting a formal letter of support from the VCK, even as Vijay met him on Friday evening and submitted signatures from 116 MLAs, two short of the majority mark in the 234-member Assembly. Earlier, Vijay was set to be sworn in at 11 am on Saturday after reports emerged that the VCK and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) had backed TVK, giving the alliance a total number of 120, two above the 118-majority mark.
