TVK's Alliance Condition: Vijay as CM Face. Hint to BJP?

• Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) declares openness to alliances if leader Vijay is named Chief Ministerial candidate.
• This stance is a shift from earlier declarations of not allying with BJP or DMK, calling DMK a "political enemy" and BJP an "ideological enemy."
• TVK recently hinted at an alliance with Congress, citing shared secular and anti-communal values, despite issues with TN Congress leadership.
• Vijay launched TVK in October 2024 as a DMK alternative; AIADMTUMK has also shown interest.
• Karur stampede incident, claiming 41 lives, casts a shadow on Vijay's political prospects.

Why It Matters: TVK sets Vijay as CM face as non-negotiable for any alliance, signaling a flexible strategy.
