A cliffhanger is emerging in Tamil Nadu, with no party yet invited to form the government despite three days having passed since Joseph Vijay’s TVK emerged as the single largest party with 108 seats in the 234-member Assembly.Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar met Vijay on Thursday and explained that his party had not presented the numbers required to prove a majority and take the oath as chief minister.Vijay had staked his claim to form the government during a meeting with the governor on Wednesday, but the governor remained unconvinced about his numbers.Vijay needs the support of 118 MLAs and, so far, has received public backing only from Congress, which has five MLAs.The Left parties, VCK and IUML, which have two MLAs each, have not yet formally extended support to Vijay and remain engaged in talks.TVK, meanwhile, may move court on the grounds that the Sarkaria Commission had, in 1988, laid down guidelines for governors to act in cases of a hung Assembly.Under those guidelines, the governor may first invite the largest pre-poll coalition, followed by the single largest party, to form the government and prove its majority on the floor of the House.TVK is the single largest party in this case and could therefore stake a claim to form the government, since no pre-poll coalition has the required numbers.
