The development comes as 28 AIADMK legislators were shifted to a private resort in Puducherry.The legislators staying at the resort in Poorankuppam are supporters of senior AIADMK leader CV Shanmugam. Their relocation has fuelled speculation that sections within the AIADMK may be considering extending support to Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay in the ongoing government formation exercise, ANI reported citing sources.Follow live updates on Tamil NaduThey claimed that a possible power-sharing formula is also being discussed, under which CV Shanmugam could be offered the Deputy Chief Minister’s post along with key ministerial portfolios. Former Tamil Nadu minister and TVK candidate KA Sengottaiyan are reportedly involved in the talks.However, the AIADMK leadership itself appears divided over the issue. Party general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami has not agreed to the proposal of supporting TVK, triggering differences within sections of the party.At the same time, leaders including CV Shanmugam and OS Manian are believed to be in favour of supporting TVK in exchange for major positions in a possible coalition government. Sources, cited by ANI, also indicated that some senior leaders have advised TVK to explore legal options, including approaching the Supreme Court or the high court over the government formation process. Others are said to have suggested the possibility of fresh elections if the deadlock continues.TVK, despite emerging as a major force in the Tamil Nadu assembly elections, remains short of the majority mark by 5 MLAs. Vijay has already secured the backing of five MLAs from Congress, but still requires support from five more legislators to cross the halfway mark in the Tamil Nadu assembly.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

The entire world saw the Pahalgam terrorist attack for what it was. We gave a befitting reply to Pakistan for its sponsorship of cross-border terrorism,” Jaiswal said.He added that “cross-border terrorism has long been used by Pakistan as an instrument of state policy” and stressed that India would continue to strengthen the global fight against terrorism. “We in India have every right to defend ourselves against terrorism. We will continue to work to strengthen the global fight against terrorism”, Jaiswal said.MEA reiterates stand on Indus Waters TreatyJaiswal also reiterated India’s position on the Indus Waters Treaty, saying the agreement remains in abeyance due to Pakistan’s support for terrorism.“Our position on the Indus Waters Treaty has been consistent. IWT stands in abeyance in response to Pakistan’s sponsorship of cross-border terrorism. Pakistan must credibly and irrevocably abjure its support for cross-border terrorism,” he said. Operation Sindoor launched after Pahalgam attackOperation Sindoor was launched on May 7, 2025, in response to the Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were killed. As part of the operation, Indian armed forces carried out strikes on terror launchpads in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.Indian forces targeted nine terror launchpads linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed and Hizbul Mujahideen, killing more than 100 terrorists during the operation.Earlier today, Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai said the operation demonstrated that “Atmanirbhar is not just a slogan, it is indeed a force multiplier,” highlighting the role of indigenous defence systems and coordinated multi-agency efforts.He said the operation achieved its objectives through a “calibrated shot and sharp shock” that disrupted the enemy’s command and control systems without dragging India into a prolonged conflict.Ghai also asserted that Operation Sindoor was “not an end” but “just the beginning” of India’s continued fight against terrorism.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

Watch Vijay Gets Major Boost In CM Race As Congress Extends Support To Form GovtThough the Congress has offered support to the actor-turned politician’s party, it still requires at least 5 more seats to form majority government with 118 MLAs in the assembly.”Thiru Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar, Hon’ble Governor of Tamil Nadu, has invited Thiru C Joseph Vijay, President, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, today (7.5.2026) to Lok Bhavan, Chennai,” the statement said from the governor’s office.”During the meeting, the Hon’ble Governor explained that the requisite majority support in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly, essential for forming the Government, has not been established,” it added.Vijay had earlier accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and home minister Amit Shah of “interfering in Tamil Nadu politics and creating confusion”.”Now, the BJP, or Amit Shah and Modi, are interfering in Tamil Nadu politics and creating confusion. TVK has been chosen as the single largest party by the people. Therefore, he should be allowed to take office. That is the guidance provided by the Constitution. Even when he has sought support, the Governor is not making any decision on that and is giving room for confusion here. This is not acceptable. Furthermore, the Governor cannot demand a list of people supporting TVK. He cannot say, ‘Who is supporting you? Bring 118 and prove it to me, then come for the swearing-in ceremony’,” said Vijay.TVK delivered a major shock to the state’s ‘Dravidian’ parties, effectively ending the three-decade-long dominance of the DMK-AIADMK duopoly. Since Vijay is also expected to vacate one of the two assembly seats he secured, TVK’s effective strength in the assembly will stand at 107. Together with Congress, the alliance’s tally rises to 112 members, just five short of the majority mark.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
