Vijay has successfully passed a crucial floor test, proving his majority with the backing of 144 Members of Legislative Assembly. This comes despite some controversy, including the DMDK flagging his astrologer's appointment.

CPI(M) leader Shanmugam stated that if the Congress and DMDK parties are allocated more seats, his party, CPI(M), should also receive its fair share in the DMK-led alliance for the upcoming elections, having already conveyed their stance to the seat-sharing committee.

The agreement signed by Mr. Stalin and Mr. Sudheesh said the seat-sharing committee would decide on the number of Assembly seats to be allotted to the party.

Dravidian parties in Tamil Nadu are making compromises and strengthening alliances, with DMK offering a Rajya Sabha berth to DMDK and AIADMK securing PMK's support with a similar deal, in preparation for an intense electoral contest.

The DMDK has nominated its treasurer, L.K. Sudhish, as a candidate for the Rajya Sabha election, marking the party's first representation in the Upper House.

Meanwhile, a senior member of the VCK, another ally, says if the DMDK is allotted more than six or seven seats, it meant the DMK was preparing for the Congress’s exit

DMDK treasurer L.K. Sudhish held a meeting with actor and politician Kamal Haasan, the details or purpose of which were not immediately specified.

The Congress and DMK parties have failed to seal a pact for seat positions, with both remaining firm on their demands, though DMK allotted one Rajya Sabha seat to DMDK.

The DMDK has officially joined the DMK alliance for the Tamil Nadu elections, marking their first partnership since the DMDK's inception in 2005, with General Secretary Premallatha Vijayakant meeting Stalin.
