Introduction

C Joseph Vijay is the new leader of Tamil Nadu. He leads a new party called TVK.

Main Body

Vijay's party won 108 seats in the election. He joined with other parties to start the government. The leader of Malaysia sent a message to say hello. Another party called AIADMK has problems. Some people in that party are angry. They now help Vijay's government because they do not like their own party leader. Some people are unhappy because Vijay hired an astrologer. Also, a court said one member of the party cannot vote in a meeting. This makes the government a bit weaker.

Conclusion

Vijay will have a big vote on May 13 to show he has enough support.
