Stalin Questions Stability of Vijay-Led TVK Government, Predicts Possible Early Elections

Stalin Questions Stability of Vijay-Led TVK Government, Predicts Possible Early ElectionsPreviousNext

DMK president M.K. Stalin has questioned the stability of Tamil Nadu's Vijay-led Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) government, suggesting it may not complete its five-year term due to lacking a clear majority and relying on support from former DMK allies. Stalin criticized the administration for issues like power cuts, farmer protests, and law and order concerns, urging DMK cadres to prepare for early elections. The TVK government, formed after winning 108 seats against the 118 majority mark, faces political challenges amid ongoing rivalry with the DMK.
