TVK chief Vijay met Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar on Wednesday to stake claim to form a government. Accompanied by key party leaders, the actor-turned-politician submitted a letter of support, claiming a majority with backing from a national opposition party. This development marks a historic shift in the state’s political landscape, breaking the duopoly of the two major Dravidian parties that have dominated since nineteen sixty-seven. The incumbent chief minister and several senior leaders were defeated in the recent elections. The new ruling party achieved this victory independently, surpassing the historical electoral performance of previous iconic leaders. Preparations are currently underway for a grand swearing-in ceremony at the indoor stadium, which is expected to be attended by prominent national political figures. The exact timing of the oath-taking ceremony awaits official confirmation from the governor’s office, while the incoming administration prepares to lead the state for the next five years.
