With the TN Assembly elections ending in a hung house, TVK has emerged as the single largest party with 108 seats.
They are just 10 short of majority.
Congress has already come forward to support them.
Now the spotlight is on the smaller parties and independents with very few seats (under 5). Many of these parties have always projected themselves as strongly anti-BJP, secular, and protectors of Dravidian politics.
So here is my genuine doubt:
If the biggest priority is really keeping BJP out at any cost, then why the hesitation to support TVK? They are clearly not aligned with BJP. With Congress already on board, backing TVK would easily help form a stable non-BJP government.
Why the delay or conditions then? Is it because:
They do not fully trust TVK since it is a new party?
They feel Vijay does not have proper Dravidian credentials?
They are worried about losing their own identity and bargaining power?
Or they would rather prop up some other combination even if it is shakier?
For years we have been hearing BJP should never be allowed in TN. This hung assembly looks like the perfect moment to test how serious that slogan really is.
What do you guys think? Should these small parties back TVK to block any chance of NDA influence, or do they have valid reasons to stay away? Is this an opportunity for something new, or just the same old politics with different names?
Open to all views. TVK supporters, DMK, AIADMK, neutrals. Let us discuss calmly.
