Congress Leader Slams Tamil Nadu Governor Over Vijay Majority Row

Tamil Nadu Governor RV Arlekar has been criticized by Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi for not inviting Vijay to form the government, despite his party being the single largest party. Singhvi called the governor's actions 'deplorable and unprecedented', stating that Vijay's party has the right to prove its majority in the House.
The governor has insisted that Vijay provide him with 118 letters of support before being invited to form the government, a move that has been criticized by Singhvi and other parties.
Singhvi also pointed to precedence, citing the example of Atal Bihari Vajpayee being invited to form the government in 1996 despite being short of a majority.
The situation is expected to be resolved swiftly, with smaller parties potentially confirming their support for Vijay's party. The governor's actions have sparked speculation of a potential DMK-AIADMK deal, and the BJP has denied any involvement in the gubernatorial delay.
The immediate next steps will be closely watched, with the governor's decision on whether to invite Vijay to form the government or impose President's Rule hanging in the balance. The court may also be approached by Vijay's party if the situation is not resolved soon.
