AMMK Accuses Vijay’s TVK of ‘Horse-Trading’ over ‘Forged’ Support Letter
Dhinakaran said TVK used a photocopy of a WhatsApp letter to claim support from AMMK’s lone MLA-elect and said he will file a police complaint.
- On Friday, Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam General Secretary TTV Dhinakaran accused the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam of submitting a "forged letter" to Governor Rajendra Arlekar, falsely claiming support from AMMK MLA-elect Kamaraj.
- The Vijay-led TVK holds 108 seats in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly but remains short of the 118-seat majority, prompting the party to seek support from independent legislators and smaller political groups.
- TVK released a video purportedly showing Kamaraj writing the support letter, though the MLA later accompanied Dhinakaran to Raj Bhavan to deny the claim, calling the document "forged" and expressing shock.
- Following the incident, Dhinakaran lodged a complaint at the Guindy Police Station and submitted a letter to Governor Rajendra Arlekar endorsing AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami as the "rightful" candidate.
- Government formation remains delayed as Vijay left disappointed following his third meeting with the Governor in three days, with uncertainty continuing over the coalition's ability to secure the necessary numbers.
