In a historic shift for Tamil Nadu politics, Joseph Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) has shattered the 50-year-old duopoly of the DMK and AIADMK. Emerging as the single largest party with 108 seats, the TVK still faces a deadlock as it shores up support to reach the majority mark needed to form the government. In this episode, we break down the high-stakes manoeuvring involving the multiple meetings between TVK's Vijay and TN Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar, and TVK's request for support to the smaller parties. Discover why the Dravidian model is facing its greatest challenge yet and what the next 24 hours could hold for the future of Tamil Nadu.
