"Outcome shaped by alliance support, ground work of cadres": DMK spokesperson Saravanan Annadurai congratulates TVK on government formation

DMK spokesperson Saravanan Annadurai congratulates Vijay on becoming Tamil Nadu CM, credits alliance support and DMK cadre groundwork for the outcome.

"Congratulations to the new Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Vijay. He is able to become the Chief Minister with the help of the allies of the DMK - Saravanan Annadurai"

Chennai, May 9

DMK spokesperson Saravanan Annadurai on Saturday extended congratulations to actor-turned-politician Vijay, who is being projected to form the government in Tamil Nadu, stating that the outcome reflects the strength of alliance dynamics and the organisational work of DMK cadres on the ground.

Speaking to ANI, Annadurai said, "Congratulations to the new Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Vijay. He is able to become the Chief Minister with the help of the allies of the DMK, and our leader MK Stalin has also earlier pointed out that he does not want a constitutional crisis."

The people of Tamil Nadu have given a mandate and credited coordination among alliance partners for the result.

"The people of Tamil Nadu have given a mandate... Thanks to our Chief Minister, he has persuaded the allies... We had extensive consultations with the DMK party leaders..Our leader, MK Stalin, has also mentioned the way the Congress has backstabbed the DMK..They won these five seats only because of the hard work of the DMK caders on the ground, the polling agent, the counting agent, and the booth level agent", he said.

Earlier, Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) President Thol Thirumavalavan on Saturday clarified the party's stance, saying that VCK is still associated with the DMK-led alliance, and that the party has extended support to the TVK only for the government formation in the state with no other commitments.

"We have decided like CPI and CPI(M) - only for forming the Govt, no other commitments. We extended our support without any participation in the ministry. We have to extend unconditional support to Vijay to form his Govt. So, we have given a support letter to TVK to attain the magic number. We are still with the DMK-headed alliance. But we have independence, liberty to decide based on this political crisis. So, this is our stand," he said.

Earlier today, TVK received the support of VCK's two MLAs. TVK has also gained support from CPI, CPI (M), Congress, and IUML.

Meanwhile, heavy security has been deployed outside the private resort where TVK MLAs are staying as the party is about to form the government in Tamil Nadu.

Finally, a new chapter for Tamil Nadu! Vijay's rise shows that people are tired of old dynastic politics. The VCK and Left parties supporting him unconditionally is a smart move—they're focusing on governance over power games. But I'm skeptical about DMK's "cadre work" claim—if they were that strong, why did they lose? 🙃

As a Tamilian, I'm cautiously optimistic. Vijay has the youth energy but needs to prove he's not just another actor-politician. The multiple alliance support is good for stability, but these parties have their own agendas—look at Congress being called out. Let's see if he can deliver on development without falling into the usual corruption traps. 🇮🇳

Interesting how regional dynamics play out in Indian politics. A superstar becoming CM—feels like a movie script! But the heavy security deployment suggests there's tension behind the scenes. Hope Vijay focuses on real issues like water sharing, industry, and education. DMK's sour grapes are showing though! 😅

Respect to DMK for acknowledging the alliance's role, but let's be honest—this is a loss for them. Vijay's clean image and fresh approach won the day. The Congress-CPI backing shows how fragile the old coalition was. I just hope this doesn't lead to political instability like we saw in some other states. Good luck, Tamil Nadu! 🍀
