Will TVK-AIADMK ally to form Tamil Nadu Government?

Chennai: Supporters of Tamil Nadu’s DMK expressed their anger by uprooting some party banners and poles at their office in Chennai after the assembly election numbers showed the ruling behind actor Vijay’s TVK and the alliance led by the AIADMK.

Some wooden poles with posters of the party led by M.K. Stalin were seen fallen on the ground. Another set of DMK supporters said that they will erect the banners and poles back where they stood.

“We were upset. We will put back the things we removed,” a DMK supporter said.

Many of them broke down in front of cameras. They expressed disbelief that the new party led by actor Vijay managed to win more seats than the traditional party.

Celebrations at Vijay’s home

As soon as the trends were out, celebrations broke out at Vijay’s residence. A video being widely shared on social media shows the actor’s family, alongside his father, caught up in the moment with cheers, excited jumps, tight embraces and at least a few happy tears on display.

Outside, senior Police officials arrived on the scene and security was tightened, with party workers and fans expected to  descend soon with congratulations in hand.

TVK’s commanding early lead has brought back conversation about a possible alliance between Vijay’s party  and the AIADMK.

Both sides officially shut the door on a pre-poll alliance. Yet, with TVK’s debut figures now out, the question of post-poll arithmetic remains on the table.
