TDP urges governor to let C. Joseph Vijay prove support
India
The Tamizh Desiya Periyakkam (TDP) is pressing the Tamil Nadu governor to give actor-turned-politician C. Joseph Vijay a shot at forming the government, saying he has support from 107 MLAs and should get to prove it on the assembly floor.
TDP's president, P Maniarasan, feels it's only fair for Vijay to be sworn in and show his numbers officially.
P Maniarasan alleges BJP influenced governor
Maniarasan also called out what he sees as political meddling: he says the governor originally planned Vijay's swearing-in but changed his mind after Congress backed TVK.
The TDP is now accusing the BJP of influencing this decision, adding more drama to who gets to lead Tamil Nadu next.
