Vijay's Numbers Nightmare Ends, VCK Extends Unconditional Support: Sources

Chennai:Superstar Vijay's numbers nightmare appears to have ended. The actor who struggled to hit the halfway mark after delivering a big electoral superhit earlier this week is learnt to have finally secured the majority - paving the way for his oath ceremony.

Sources told NDTV that the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) has extended its unconditional support to the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) to form the first coalition government in Tamil Nadu.

The VCK, however, has not said it officially yet.The VCK's support adds two crucial seats to the TVK's tally. The Vijay-led coalition already had the support of 116 MLA-elects, including five from the Congress and four from the Left parties. Adding two of the VCK seats, its strength goes up to 118, which is the exact number of number of MLAs required to form government in the state. 

While the Left parties had extended unconditional support, the Congress' backing came with conditions. The Left opted out of Vijay's cabinet and sources said that Congress expected two ministries.
