TVK can’t form govt with Congress support alone: DMK leader Elangovan

Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu witnessed new entrant Vijay's victory, with his party emerging as the single largest party by winning 108 seats, while DMK and AIADMK got 59 and 47, respectively.

TVK might have received a strong response in the polls, but DMK leader T K S Elangovan on Tuesday claimed that actor-turned-politician's party cannot form the government in Tamil Nadu by joining hands with Congress alone.

Speaking to PTI Videos, he said that the Congress has only five MLAs and, therefore, TVK cannot form the government with its support. TVK needs 118 MLAs in the 234-member House to form the government.

The Tamil Nadu assembly elections were held on April 23. The results were announced on May 4.

The DMK leader stated that “if the AIADMK does not support Vijay, there will be a hung Assembly and fresh elections may have to be held.”

Elangovan also alleged that the BJP does not want the DMK to come to power.
