‘He should lead’: BJP state vice president Khushbu Sundar backs TVK chief Vijay for CM | India News
New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party’s Tamil Nadu state unit vice-president Khushbu Sundar has expressed his support for TVK Pradhan’s victory for the Chief Minister post as the latter has blocked government formation in the state after lacking a majority of 5 MLAs.“As a citizen of the state of Tamil Nadu, when the people have elected their chief minister, he should lead,” Khushbu Sundar said in a post on X.BJP won one seat in Tamil Nadu in alliance with AIADMK. The Congress alleged that the delay in inviting Vijay to form the government was a calculated move by the BJP-led Centre, describing it as an “undemocratic” attempt to undermine the people’s mandate.Governor Rajendra Vishwanath summoned Arlekar Vijay twice in two days and asked him to submit letters of support from allied MLAs and other partners establishing a working majority before inviting him to form the government.Neither the DMK nor the AIADMK was able to secure a majority, resulting in a hung assembly. Smaller parties such as Biduthalai Chiruthaigal Kachchi, Pattali Makkal Kachchi, Communist Party of India, Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM), Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam and Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam are now seen in the possible government formation process.
