Tamil Nadu government formation news LIVE: TVK Vijay unlikely to take oath today; ‘not enough numbers’, says Governor
✦ AI Brief
Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Arlekar is not convinced about Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) having enough numbers to form the government. TVK won 108 seats in the 234-member assembly but is ten short of the majority mark. The Governor is seeking legal opinion and has not yet made a formal decision on inviting TVK leader Vijay to form the government and hold a swearing-in ceremony. Congress has extended its support to TVK, but with a condition of keeping out "communal forces" that do not believe in the Constitution of India.
