However, Times Now has now reported that the event is unlikely to held tomorrow. The party is yet to confirm the development.
Earlier, TVK chief and founder Vijay met Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar to formally stake claim to form the government, just two days after his party emerged as the single largest in the Assembly but fell short of an outright majority.
The meeting took place at 3:15 pm at Lok Bhavan, where Vijay was joined by senior party leaders including “Bussy” N Anand, Aadhav Arjuna, K A Sengottaiyan, and C T Nirmal Kumar.
Earlier in the day, the Congress party announced its support for TVK following discussions with Vijay. While TVK is also seeking backing from the VCK and the Left parties-currently aligned with the DMK-their response has so far been cautious.
In the recently concluded elections, TVK secured 108 seats in the 234-member Assembly. The majority mark stands at 118. Party sources indicate that Vijay is expected to take oath as Chief Minister on May 7.
