TVK has got the support of Congress (5 seats), CPI (2) and CPM (2). TVK is likely to cross the magic number of 118 as it is expecting a positive response from the VCK leader, whose party has two MLAs.

TTV Dhinakaran announced AMMK MLA S Kamaraj faces disqualification for supporting the ruling TVK government during a floor test. Dhinakaran accused Kamaraj of betrayal and stated the party will pursue disqualification, calling the TVK's acceptance of support 'horse-trading'. He removed Kamaraj from the party, vowing to take necessary steps.

AIADMK faces a severe internal crisis as a faction of MLAs, led by C.V. Shanmugam, openly rebelled against party chief Edappadi Palaniswami. They allege EPS explored aligning with the DMK and abandoned the party's core anti-DMK stance.

DMK president MK Stalin criticised Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) leader Joseph Vijay, alleging he became Chief Minister by influencing children via Instagram and failed to appoint booth agents. Stalin also highlighted rising murders in Tamil Nadu, questioning the new government's ability to maintain law and order, drawing parallels to past governance issues.

A significant faction of AIADMK MLAs, reportedly 28 out of 47, are considering joining the Vijay-led government after supporting a confidence vote. While the group claims a deal for ministerial berths, sources within the Vijay camp deny any firm commitment. This move follows internal party disputes over leadership and whip appointments.

Veteran actor Rajinikanth clarified his political stance, stating he is no longer active in politics and was shocked by speculation about actor Vijay becoming Chief Minister. He defended his meeting with MK Stalin, emphasizing their friendship transcends politics and that he addressed criticism to prevent it from being perceived as truth.

A faction of AIADMK, led by S.P. Velumani and C.V. Shanmugam, has announced support for Chief Minister Vijay's TVK government ahead of a crucial floor test. This move comes amid internal rifts within AIADMK over potential alliances, with the faction opposing any tie-up with DMK. Vijay is working to secure the required majority with support from various parties.

The landscape of British politics is shaken as Prime Minister Keir Starmer encounters a formidable challenge from Andy Burnham, who is gearing up for a crucial special election to reclaim his place in Parliament.

AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami congratulated the party set to form the next government in Tamil Nadu following the 17th Assembly elections. He made the announcement via a social media post after holding a closed-door meeting with newly elected MLAs.

NCP president Sunetra Pawar's letter to the ECI, omitting key organizational posts for Praful Patel and Sunil Tatkare, has sparked speculation. Sources indicate Sunetra Pawar and her sons are seeking a meeting with Tatkare to clarify the issue. Pawar previously attributed similar omissions to technical mistakes.

UK prime minister Keir Starmer is under intense scrutiny after a series of local election defeats and the backlash over Peter Mandelson's recent appointment. This has prompted a growing chorus of Labour MPs demanding his exit.
