1. T.N. Governor asks Vijay to prove majority
Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi invited TVK leader Vijay to prove majority after the Assembly election delivered a fractured verdict. TVK emerged as the single largest party but fell short of a clear majority. The Governor asked Vijay to produce letters of support from legislators before forming the government. The logic is that in parliamentary democracy, the Governor must ensure that a party claiming power has majority backing in the House. The Congress reportedly extended support, while AIADMK declined to join. The stand of constitutional practice is that floor tests, not political claims, determine legitimacy. The gist is that coalition politics and hung assemblies require careful constitutional handling. The episode highlights the importance of stability, transparency and institutional neutrality in government formation.
