The TVK government operates without an absolute majority and relies completely on the external support of Left parties like the CPI and CPM to stay in power and retain its cabinet. Former CPI state secretary Muttharasan noted that if the Left parties withdraw their support, the cabinet will collapse immediately.

Muttharasan stated that the Governor is waiting for CPI and CPM leaders Shanmugam and Veerapandiyan to officially announce the withdrawal of their party support, which would trigger the dissolution of the TVK government.

During a TVK candidate introduction meeting for upcoming by-elections, Minister Aadhav Arjuna criticized Communist comrades for questioning the proposed new Secretariat in Pattinapakkam and challenged whether they could guarantee there was no corruption under the previous DMK government.
