Thalapathy Vijay TVK Government Formation: Is Thalapathy Vijay’s chair in danger even after winning 107 seats in Tamil Nadu elections? Can there be a big ‘political game’ here like Karnataka and Maharashtra? Know what are the biggest hurdles in TVK forming the government and what is the biggest tension of superstar Vijay?
Tamil Nadu Government Formation: In Tamil Nadu, superstar Thalapathy Vijay’s newly formed party TVK has performed well at the box office in its very first election. Vijay is at the forefront with 107 seats, but what is increasing his tension is the magic number i.e. majority to form the government, from which he is still 11 steps away. Now the question is whether Vijay will form the government alone like ‘Singham’ or will the drama of ‘resort politics’ like Karnataka and Maharashtra start in Tamil Nadu also? Let us understand where Vijay’s chair is stuck…
Numbers game to form government in Tamil Nadu
A magical figure of 118 is required to form the government in Tamil Nadu. The current picture is such that TVK (Vijay) has got 107 seats and is 11 seats away from the majority. The DMK alliance (Stalin) has won 74 seats, while the AIADMK and BJP alliance has won 53 seats. DMK and AIADMK have been ruling Tamil Nadu alternately for 60 years. For the first time, a third force has demolished their fort, but the catch is that despite being the largest party, Vijay has not yet become the ‘king’.
How can Thalapathy Vijay become the Chief Minister?
Scene 1: Should AIADMK support Vijay?
The most direct way for Thalapathy Vijay to become the Chief Minister and form the government in Tamil Nadu is for Vijay and AIADMK to join hands. With the addition of 107 seats of Vijay’s party and 45 seats of AIADMK, it will become 152 seats and the government will be formed comfortably. But the biggest question is what are its chances? Political experts call this a very likely scenario, because Vijay cursed DMK and Stalin throughout the election, but his tone was a bit soft for AIADMK. If political experts are to be believed, AIADMK can support Vijay even without BJP, only they will want some creamy ministries in return.
Scene 2: Can’t Rahul Gandhi be a ‘troubleshooter’?
Do you know that there is a good friendship between Vijay and Rahul Gandhi? When Vijay’s film was in trouble, Rahul stood in his support. A new bet can begin from here. DMK’s alliance includes Congress (5 seats), CPI (2 seats) and some smaller parties. If these parties leave Stalin’s side and join Vijay’s side, then the victory figure will cross 118. Since Congress has been out of power in Tamil Nadu for a long time. Stalin is not ready to give him a share in the government. In such a situation, if Vijay offers ‘ministerial post’ to Congress, then Vijay may get the support of Congress.
Where can Thalapathy Vijay’s government get stuck?
Now there is also a question that what will happen if Vijay is not able to prove majority? Can arch rivals DMK and AIADMK come together? It sounds impossible, but in politics ‘the enemy of the enemy is a friend’. In 2018, Congress and JDS joined forces to stop BJP in Karnataka. In 2019, Shiv Sena and Congress had joined hands in Maharashtra. If even in Tamil Nadu the old stalwarts come together to save their reputation, then the CM’s chair will remain a dream for Vijay.
What is the real tension of Thalapathy Vijay?
The biggest challenge for Vijay is ‘ideology’. He has done politics against corruption and ‘Dravidian pride’. On the basis of this, we have got the maximum number of seats for the first time. If he compromises with anyone for power, will his fans be able to accept it?
