New Delhi: In a bid to clinch a Tamil Nadu alliance ahead of Assembly polls, BJP has offered actor-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) the Deputy CM post and around 80 seats, sources revealed.
Talks have reached final stages, with a deputy CM from another state mediating. The deal could reshape contests in a state where slim vote margins decide fates—BJP eyes Vijay's massive fan base for that crucial 2% edge in key seats.
Vijay covets the CM chair, a sticking point in negotiations. Yet, unease brews in his camp: advisers worry allying with NDA too soon could tarnish TVK's independent image as a fresh alternative.
BJP's aggressive outreach via multiple channels underscores the stakes in Vijay's rapid political rise.
