So this is also the first time that Tamil Nadu is seeing a coalition government after 59 years. Yesterday we saw two MLAs from Congress who was sworn in and today two other allies of the TVK the WCK and the IUML. Remember Arun they were also part of the DMKled alliance.

[00:01:43]Uh initially they were saying that they will only support TVK from uh the outside but now they will also be part of uh uh the uh the TVKled government.

[00:01:52]So all eyes on how the DMK now reacts because officially uh some of the allies of the DMK are now part of the TVK government. So we'll have to wait and see how DMK now uh responds to this. But yes, it's a coalition government after 59 years with not just the Congress but also VCK and IUML. As we reported yesterday that two se two portfolios have been reserved for these two allies.

[00:02:14]Today they are also uh swearing in at the log bhavan >> and punima what exactly happened in this uh period because initially I remember both VCK and IUML have said that they will be supporting the government from outside they will not go into the government they will not become part of the cabinet. So what has changed?

[00:02:35]>> Well two days ago TVK had once again invited VCK and IML to be part of it.

[00:02:40]Remember over the last one week there were also speculations Arun on whether the AIA DMK rebel faction will be part of the cabinet and then we saw statements from the WCK and the left opposing that move and said that they will have to reconsider the decision if the rebel AIADMK MLAs are part of the coalition government. So they put an end to that saying that it's only speculation and then they once again invited IUML and VCK to be part of uh the government. Uh yesterday IML earlier in the day had uh held an internal meeting and said that Shajahan will be part of uh uh the government and late last night WCK also held a meeting and then they held a press conference confirming that Wani Arasil from the VCK will now be part of uh the government.

[00:03:29]So uh TVK time and again kept inviting them also to ensure that this government is stable and just uh uh does not uh uh and continues for the next 5 years. They also want allies to be part of the government.

[00:03:42]>> Absolutely. For the smoother smoother functioning of the government there.

[00:03:45]Puna stay with us because we are getting some more breaking news. At this point I'll come back to you. All right. On this Vijay cabinet expansion DMK leader A Raja has indirectly hit out at the WCK. His tweet indirectly refers to WCK having abandoned their true friends and have behaved opportunistically.

[00:04:04]The post on X says the one who was given the letter of sent before the dagger needed to shatter the blind cast if he's to offer his head to the mayor sound of whistle. There is no fault in spurning the one who's closed his flour and seeking another place for union. We'll wait for Pia's timely commerce unquote yet still we'll have to take uh the the field. Victory is ours. That's what of course a Raja is saying. Narendraupati of BJP is joining us on this story. Uh Mr. Thupati, thank you so much for joining us. Now we are seeing that two more ministers are going to take oath today in the Vijay's cabinet which means the entire kota will be completed. But we are seeing that DMK's a Raja is coming out and targeting all those parties who are part of alliance in Vijay's government.

[00:05:00]Yes, I think you have seen this tweet in Tamil. This is the worst ever tweet I have seen from you know DMK people in the recent years. And of course there is not a surprise because DMK is known for all these kind of tweets these kind of words. In fact Mr. Raja here in this tweet very very very nasty and dirty filthy in filthy language they have criticized Mr. Zuma and also the all India Muslim League. But the point here is the uh both the Muslim League and the VCK were saying that they are still continuing in the DMK alliance whereas the DMK is criticizing the TVK's government. So they should have said that we are out of DMK alliance. Now the DMK is without anyone without any alliance. Before 3 months they were saying that the DMK alliance is the strongest alliance ever the country had but now everything is into pieces and it is a broken glass. It is interesting that even VCKS Balaji has retweeted what Mr. Raja has said and he has in the last said if you are going to continue these kind of words then we will say so many things and uh you will be in fire. That is what the VCK has said. That is what uh so it is going to be you know we the people of Tamil Nad are waiting for what all scams and what all issues corruptions everything I think the VCK will come out and say openly in the public about the DMK's bad things >> and Mr. Tupati isn't it this is uh resting all the speculations where many were saying that it is the blessing of MK Stallion and DMK that WCK and IUML is with Vijay >> see that is not uh my uh my issue I I don't I I don't want to comment on that but the thing is that these people are very shameless the people have voted against the DMK alliance for the poor performance and failed government of DMK Okay. And Congress and ML are being part of TVK.

[00:07:17]Shameless people. How can they when when see they have rejected what the people have given the mandate. So they should have sat quietly. They should have allowed TVK to function. Initially they said unconditionally they are supporting. Now the want of power, the greed for power, the thirst for power made everyone to you know assume ministership. This is really disgusting.

[00:07:41]>> Lastly, Mr. Tupati, since you stay in the state, you've been doing your politics there in Tamil Nad. Do you see current situation uh uh is really going to hold on for next 5 years or you will see some jittery in coming years for Vijay.

[00:07:56]>> See, I expect any government to last long. But if if a government is not going to function properly, I think the government should not be there because it is against the people's mandate. But as far as in this issue is concerned uh it is very clear that Congress you cannot trust Congress that is what the people have of India has given mandate and I I don't understand how Mr. Vijay is trusting Congress and we have seen how Mr. Tumalan and All India Union Muslim League all were part of DMK one day they will backstab Mr. Vijay also I think Mr. Vijay has to be very careful.

[00:08:36]>> Thank you.

[00:08:36]>> It is a test for Mr. Yeah, it's a test. It's a test. We'll have to see how it goes. Uh, thank you so much, Daratupati of BJP for joining us and sharing your perspective.
