Actor-politician C Joseph Vijay-led TVK’s nervous seesaw situation over demonstrating majority support in Tamil Nadu continued on Friday despite Left parties pledging support.Vijay again met Governor Rajendra Arlekar this evening to display his ability to form the government, but sources in the Lok Bhavan said the actor still had the support of only 116 MLAs, two short of the 118 majority mark in the 234-member Assembly.The TVK chief’s meeting with the Governor today was his third since the May 4 results threw up a hung House in the southern state, placing Vijay’s party ahead of others. TVK won 108 seats and remains short of the majority mark.Today, the CPI and CPM, with two MLAs each, promised support to Vijay. The VCK also indicated support for the TVK, though it did not formally do so. The Congress’ five MLAs have already extended support to the TVK.This takes the tally to 116 — the TVK’s 108 MLAs will effectively reduce to 107 as Vijay will have to resign from one of the two seats he has won; the Congress has five MLAs, CPI two and CPM two. The TVK, therefore, still requires the support of two more MLAs to cross the majority mark.Vijay had earlier sought two weeks from the Governor to prove his majority, but the Governor declined the request, saying it could encourage horse-trading. While Vijay continues to work on the numbers, Arlekar is consulting his legal team to decide the next course of action.Meanwhile, the BJP made it clear today that it would sit in the Opposition and respect the people’s mandate. BJP state chief Nainar Nagerthan said the party would neither align with any government formation exercise nor support any such move through voting. The BJP had contested the Tamil Nadu polls in alliance with the AIADMK.Some reports from Chennai suggested that the DMK had offered support to the AIADMK on the condition that it severed ties with the BJP alliance. There was, however, no official confirmation of this.AMMK chief TTV Dhinakaran also denied extending support to the Vijay-led TVK and said his party continued to remain part of the NDA.Meanwhile, a member of the TVK on Friday moved the Supreme Court seeking directions to Governor Arlekar to invite his single largest political party to form the government in the state. Petitioner Ezhilarasi K contended that the Governor’s failure to invite Vijay to form the government violated the Constitution.The petition, which made the Principal Secretary to the Governor, the state government and the Centre as parties, urged the top court to issue a writ of mandamus or any such other writ to direct the Governor to invite Vijay to form the next government and to administer him the oath as the Chief Minister of the state.
