Key Questions Answered
These by-elections were triggered after the ruling administration allegedly bought opposition AIADMK MLAs, made them resign, and inducted them into the ruling party, which DMK President M.K. Stalin termed as a killing of democracy.
Stalin accused Chief Minister Vijay of lacking public support, buying votes and MLAs with money, and operating his party, TVK, as a branch or xerox copy of the BJP.
The TVK secured 108 seats out of the 234-member assembly, which fell short of the 118-seat majority needed to form the government on its own.
