00:00This is breaking news coming in from Tamil Nadu.
00:02The State Unit Congress post-Zoom meeting has decided that they will extend support to TVK.
00:08Congress, in fact, wants power sharing with TVK.
00:11It is likely to demand two portfolios, that is the two cabinet boards,
00:16few board and corporation chairman posts and other government roles which are available,
00:21which could be like trust members.
00:23The report will be sent to high command on the outcomes of the Zoom online meet that they had.
00:29This was a meeting which was underway, whether they wanted to support TVK or not.
00:36And now official communication has come from the high command.
00:39Congress, in fact, will be supporting TVK in Tamil Nadu.
00:43That means that TVK will get support from Congress.
00:46Currently, it has 108 seats.
00:48And now it will get the support of Congress, which means five more seats will be added to TVK's tally.
00:54For more on that, we have Nagarjun joining us.
00:55Nagarjun, now, in fact, we're seeing the outcome of the Zoom meeting that Congress was having online.
01:01And now we're finding that they will extend support to TVK.
01:04What is likely to happen next?
01:07Well, the outcome of the Zoom meeting has come out.
01:09We have access to this information that the Congress party would take two portfolios from the TVK.
01:15And that's the demand likely.
01:16But the final decision lies with TVK because it's still negotiation phase.
01:20The demand right now would be of two portfolios and few chairmen for board and corporations are like.
01:26Most of the PSUs of the government will have chairmen which is nominated by the government.
01:30So the Congress is also demanding that.
01:32And the same way, there will be also director and members' positions available from the government.
01:38And they also want that.
01:39So it's a three-layer demand from the cabinet portfolio to the director and members of certain boards is what
01:45the Congress is demanding.
01:46And this will be sent back to the high command official because high command had instructed the state unit to
01:51deliberate on the theme.
01:52And now the communication will be sent to high command.
01:54And most likely by in the morning or by tomorrow afternoon, sending all support to TVK.
02:02Right. So by tomorrow morning, we're likely to know what exactly will the outcome be.
02:06Right now, Congress has decided that it will extend support to TVK.
02:09And it is demanding two portfolios, that is, two cabinet births.
02:14Thank you so much for joining in Nagarjan.
