A major political realignment has unfolded in Tamil Nadu as the Indian National Congress formally joins hands with Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) to support government formation. Senior Congress leaders, including Praveen Chakravarty, met Vijay at the party headquarters, sealing the alliance. While Congress's 5 MLAs strengthen TVK's numbers, they are still short of the majority mark. The development effectively marks the end of the Congress-Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) alliance and signals a major shift in state and national opposition politics
