TVK Urges Tamil Nadu Governor to Invite Party to Form Government
K.G. Arunraaj, the general secretary of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), has called on the Governor of Tamil Nadu to adhere to constitutional principles and invite his party to form the state government. Following recent Assembly elections where TVK emerged as the single largest party, Arunraaj emphasized that Supreme Court judgments mandate proving majority support on the floor of the House rather than through pre-poll alliances. He disclosed that TVK president C. Joseph Vijay submitted a letter to Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) leader K.M. Khader Mohideen seeking support, with IUML leaders promising to consult their executive committee. Arunraaj dismissed allegations of conspiracy against TVK, asserting that justice would prevail despite delays. Furthermore, he criticized speculation regarding potential cooperation between AIADMK and DMK, labeling such moves as an attempt to dilute the people's verdict. He highlighted the irony of AIADMK previously expelling O. Panneerselvam for alleged ties with DMK, urging citizens to monitor these political developments closely. The statement underscores the ongoing political uncertainty in Tamil Nadu as parties negotiate post-election alliances.
