TVK Functionary Moves Supreme Court Seeking Vijay’s Appointment as Tamil Nadu CM

A functionary of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) has approached the Supreme Court seeking directions to the Tamil Nadu Governor to swear in actor-turned-politician Vijay as Chief Minister of the State.

The plea reportedly argues that Vijay enjoys significant public support and claims there is a constitutional obligation on the Governor to consider his appointment.

The petition has drawn attention due to its unusual nature, especially as no electoral mandate or legislative majority in favour of Vijay currently exists.

The matter is expected to test the constitutional scope of governor's discretion and judicial intervention in government formation.
