[00:00:00]I do not understand why the governor of Tamil Nadu is playing games and yes he is by not giving Vijay a chance to form the government despite his being overwhelmingly overwhelmingly the single largest party in Tamil Nadu.

[00:00:17]The governor of Tamil Nadu is encouraging horse trading by not telling Vijay to form a government and insisting that he must first come with 118 MLAs in support so that he can prove a majority in the 234 seat assembly. The governor of Tamil Nadu is throwing common sense into the dustbin. I think the governor of Tamil Nadu is trying to delay the inevitable because in a house of 234, Vijay has 108. Now look at the numbers.

[00:00:51]If Vijay has 108 and the Congress has five, together they are 113. Five short of the majority. Add to that the VCK, the CPM, the CPI, you have 119, 118. So he has the numbers. Let him form the government. It is inconceivable ladies and gentlemen that the governor is allowing a situation to develop where the DMK and the AIDMK both of whom have been completely rejected by the people of Tamil Nadu are getting a chance to have these dreams about forming the government. So much so that S. Guru Morti editor of Touglak leading intellectual right-wing ideologue himself and who's no fan who's no fan of Vijay let me tell you he's saying that if the DMK and ADMK come together then he says if God forbids this happens it'll be the most fraudulent opportunistic politics and against popular mandate which has rejected both Dravidian parties one pseudo and one real DMK coming back through back door is treachery god save Tamil Nadu now ladies and gentlemen what he's saying is absolutely clear. Another person very respected is Sridhar Vimbu the founder of Zoho. He says I believe Vijay has a clear mandate and should form the government. Anything else is against the will of the people. If the arithmetic in the assembly does not work instead of endless horse trading according to Shraru fresh polls are best then let there be fresh polls. And he says he thinks TVK will win a super majority. So it's in the interest of other parties to avoid fresh polls. And then he says I'm not saying this because I'm a TV supporter. I say this as someone who loves Tamil Nadu and Bhat. Ladies and gentlemen, if anything, Sridar VMU supports the Iris's BJP point of view.

[00:02:32]But even he is saying today that let for God's sake, let Vijay form the government. It is embarrassing in my view what the governor is doing. In the meanwhile, DMK is trying its best to avoid being in opposition. MK Stalin has been given the right to have political decisions and they've talked about having a sta stable state and the statement that they put out says forces opposed to Dravidian movement shouldn't gain space. In other words, DMK and EIDMK are willing to for come together to form a government that will be the most unstable government. It's like Congress and BJP coming together. My dear viewers, I can only say that we must all appeal that better sense should prevail in Raj Ban in Chennai. The governor is not delaying things. The governor is making a mistake. Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Arkar refusing to invite Vijay to the state assembly until he technically proves his majority. I have one question to the honorable governor. Does he realize that even if ADMK and DMK come together, they'll have less seats than Vijay? If it is a notional stability that he's talking about, what sense of stability does the honorable governor of Tamil Ladu see in DMK and ADMK coming together? The Neda party and MK Stalin coming together as per the SR Bumay case. Majority is proved in the floor of the house. But we have a situation where the governor wants it to be proven before the floor test. He's saying prove to me that you have the numbers. I believe that if this matter goes to test legally, the governor will end up getting embarrassed and he should stop playing politics. He should immediately allow. Governor Rajendra Vishuinat Allear has already delayed the swearing in of Vijay and he's wrong in saying he does not have sufficient proof of majority support.

[00:04:15]What proof of majority support does he expect to get from MK Stalin? So I think this is wrong. These are the situations where we must take a non-political approach. Vijay has the numbers.

[00:04:25]Governor says he has 118. Let there be a test on the floor of the assembly and if he can still can't prove his majority let then Vijay be asked to quit.

[00:04:35]Delaying him making him wait encouraging horse trading hotel politics is terrible and as of now it's Raj Bhavan which is allowing it to happen. That's my clear view.
