Political uncertainty in India state as film star winner falls short of majority

Alexandru Orian

When film star-turned-politician C Joseph Vijay's newly-formed political party won the most number of seats in the recent election in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, it was hailed as historic. But five days after Monday's vote-counting, political uncertainty prevails in the southern state, with no clarity on when a new government could be formed or who would form it. Vijay's party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) won 108 seats - leaving him 10 seats short of a majority in the 234-member assembly.
