Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam President C Joseph Vijay’s path to assume charge as Tamil Nadu Chief Minister hit a major roadblock on 6th May with Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar insisting that the single-largest party first produce proof of majority support before being invited to form the government. Arlekar conveyed his position to Vijay when he met him Wednesday evening staking claim to form the government. TVK, which won 108 seats, now has the support of 113 MLAs with the Congress that won 5 seats extending its support, but the Governor is insisting that the party show that it has the support of 117 MLAs, the magic number.
