In a significant political development to form the government in Tamil Nadu, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam leader Aadhav Arjuna on Saturday hailed the support extended by Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi leader Thol. Thirumavalavan and two VCK MLAs towards his party.

Sharing a post on X, Arjuna added that 'Silent Revolution' that took place through democratic means in the state would extend support to the greatest transfer of power that is about to occur under VCK leader Thol. Thirumavalavan.

"In a manner that welcomes the 'Silent Revolution' that took place through democratic means in Tamil Nadu, and in a way that extends support to the greatest transfer of power that is about to occur, Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) leader, my political mentor, and great leader Thol. Thirumavalavan has extended his support. The two Members of the Legislative Assembly who contested and won on behalf of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi have received a letter expressing support for the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam and have handed it over to us with joy and confidence. For that, it is not we alone... even the future history of Tamil Nadu is indebted and must express its gratitude," TVK leader wrote.

He further asserted that the ideological vision of VCK leader Thirumavalavan would be carried forward by his party.

"Furthermore, it is not mere thanks alone... I firmly declare that the political goals of the 35-year political journey of VCK leader and brother Thol. Thirumavalavan--his dreams of social justice, his principles of equality--will be fulfilled in the rule of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam that is about to come to pass," Arjuna added in the post.

The remarks come amid evolving political alignments in Tamil Nadu, with Arjuna projecting confidence in what he described as a "silent revolution" and an impending shift in the state's political landscape.

TVK has the support of Congress, CPI, CPI(M), VCK and IUML. While Congress has five MLAs, CPI, CPI(M), VCK and IUML have two MLAs each.

The letter to the Governor, written by IUML leaders SSB Syed Farooq Basha and AM Shahjahan, conveyed the party's "unconditional support" to the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam led by Joseph Vijay for forming a government in Tamil Nadu. Vijay is slated to be the next Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.

The letter said the support is being conveyed "in the interest of stable, secular and democratic governance" for the people of Tamil Nadu.

Wait, calling it "greatest transfer of power" seems a bit dramatic. Yes, it's historic that a film star's party got 108 seats in debut, but let's not forget the actual work needed. Hope Vijay proves to be more than just a celebrity CM and focuses on real issues like education and infrastructure.
