TVK Joins INDIA Bloc, Puts Vijay’s Prime Ministerial Ambitions on Hold

Vijay’s party, TVK, is now officially part of the INDIA bloc, a group of opposition parties.

TVK already governs Tamil Nadu with support from Congress and other parties.

The party won 108 seats, fewer than the 118 needed for a majority on its own.

Joining the bloc gives TVK a national political partnership as well as its state-level allies.

At a meeting in Chennai, members also opposed an electoral-roll review and announced protests.

TVK leaders have been asked not to describe Vijay as a future prime ministerial candidate for now.

The article says this move may make things more difficult for the DMK, another major party in Tamil Nadu.

It does not settle how all the parties will work together in the state.
