Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) president C. Joseph Vijay will be sworn in as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on Sunday (May 10, 2026), putting an end to almost six decades of alternating rule by the State’s two dominant Dravidian parties—DMK and AIADMK. Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar on Saturday (May 9) appointed Mr. Vijay Chief Minister-designate after he secured the support of 120 MLAs-elect in the 234-member House.

K Annamalai, BJP's most recognisable face in Tamil Nadu, has quit BJP, ending days of suspense.

"The National President of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Hon'ble Shri Nitin Nabin, has accepted the resignation submitted by the Tamil Nadu Ex. State President, Shri K. Annamalai from the primary membership of the Party," the BJP said in a statement today.

The development comes just hours before Annamalai, the former Tamil Nadu BJP chief, was to hold an "open, heart-to-heart conversation" with the public on social media at noon.

The 41-year-old leader flew down to Delhi, met party chief Nitin Nabin on Tuesday and said he wants to end the partnership on "cordial terms". A meeting with Amit Shah and BL Santhosh, the man credited with spotting the talent in Annamalai, followed.

wouldnt be surprised if there are lot many of them, cosmopolitan cities like blore are effective places to operate safely. Corruption has their task so easy that they no longer need to take trouble or risk of preparing forged documents.
