Chennai: The political turmoil in Tamil Nadu is expected to intensify as there are reports that all newly-elected MLAs of actor-turned-politician Vijay Thalapathy's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) will resign if MK Stalin-led Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) or Edappadi Karuppa Palaniswami-led All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) stakes claim to form government in the state.
This comes after Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar rejected Vijay's bid to form the government for the second time on Thursday.
TVK swept the recently-concluded Tamil Nadu elections, winning 108 seats out of the 234 seats in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. As Vijay won from two seats (Perambur and Tiruchirappalli East), the actual number of seats in TVK's hand totals to 107 as of now.
TVK emerged as the single-largest party, however, it is short of the majority mark of 118. With the alliance of five MLAs of Congress, Vijay has the support of 112 MLAs, still short of 6 MLAs.
