00:00And breaking news coming in from Tamil Nadu.
00:02Vijay has been chosen as the leader of the TVK MLAs.
00:06Vijay has been chosen officially as the Legislative Assembly leader of TVK.
00:11Sources suggest that he is eyeing Congress, Left and VCK as allies
00:16as Congress sends feelers to the TVK.
00:20Is an alliance on the cards?
00:23That's the breaking news that we are bringing to you at this hour.
00:26Ramoth is joining me on the phone line on this story.
00:29Pramod Nadav, what more can you tell us
00:32about the possible government formation in Tamil Nadu?
00:36For the possible government formation, we need a number of 118.
00:39And that's the number that is required.
00:41But TVK is short of 10 actually.
00:44And apparently what will happen is that if Vijay returns from one of the constituencies,
00:47he will be requiring a case medical control.
00:49And this is where the actual calculation, what Vijay did was that
00:52this team apparently wants Congress, VCK, CPI, CPM and the IUML.
00:59However, when we spoke to DNK, CPI Solangovansi very clearly said that the Left and VCK will not go.
01:05However, he cannot say anything about the Congress itself.
01:07So that itself is a very big statement from DNK.
01:10Still, we've been told that a kind of meeting is happening.
01:13Well, the decision will be taken soon, Anisha.
01:15Pramod, what more can you tell us about what is happening in the state?
01:21Because as you said, decision has to be taken.
01:23But Vijay has officially been chosen as the leader of the legislative party.
01:30We're also hearing about Congress possibly sending out feelers.
01:34What more can you tell us about that?
01:36It certainly is, Anisha.
01:37This is the actual procedure by which once the majority party,
01:40actually they will go ahead and then choose their legislative party leader.
01:43Each party will have to do so and DNK will also decide on it very soon.
01:46And so is AI-DNK.
01:48For Smith, now Vijay has already sent a main.
01:50Vijay's team has sent a main to the governor by which they have sought appointments
01:53to the governor seeking time to meet him and state that they want to form the government
01:58in the state of Tamil Nadu.
01:59For Smith, apparently time would be given if required for them to prove their majority
02:04if the opposition parties actually seek for it.
02:07And if that happens, Vijay will have to show the number.
02:10And before that, he will have to get the support of all the parties.
02:12If Congress is going to join the TVK, they will get five.
02:16But he still will have to go ahead and get seven more on this, Anisha.
02:21Great.
02:22Pramod Madhav keeping a very close eye on the developments in Tamil Nadu.
02:27We'll find out shortly what will happen next.
