&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vijay created an tsunami in Tamil Nadu's assembly elections with his new party TVK. Just like all parties, he instead of talking about development, came to power by promising various freebies.Now analysts are figuring out how much is needed to implement Vijay's freebies. In the first year itself, Vijay requires Rs 42000crs to implement his promises. Currently the state is under Rs 1.22 lakh crores deficit and it will be a huge burden for the treasury.Vijay's manifesto as attractive scheme for women and according to it, he promised to increase current Rs 1000 money credit to Rs 2500. This will increase the current Rs 14,111 crs yearly expenses to Rs 36,029 annually. He is also planning to increase free electricity from 100 units to 200 units and the subsidy will increase by Rs 12000crs. This will be an additional burden of Rs 4248crs to the state government.Increase of old age, widow and disabled people pension to Rs 3000 will add another Rs 8800crs and free six cylinders will cost Rs 7074crs, financial support to farmers by Rs 15000 increased Rs 1941crs. So there is no revenue generation and only he should depend on debts. Already Tamil Nadu is facing deficit budget and Vijay cannot fulfil there promises without additional funds from the Union Government. This will result in economic turmoil. &nbsp;

 How much is needed for Vijay freebies

&nbsp;&nbsp;When Vijay's TVK emerged as the single largest party in Tamil Nadu, many felt that government formation is just a mere formality. However with Vijay falling short of 10 MLAs, the drama started and Vijay's inexperience is coming to the forte.With Vijay and one of his political leader winning from two constituencies, both should resign from one constituency. Then Vijay's TVK strength will reduce to 106 and with Speaker being from his party, it will come effectively down to 105. Vijay sought the support of Congress with has 5 MLAs and total comes to 110. Vijay needs another 8 MLAs for his support.In the midst of all this, Congress which gave support came up with shocking conditions. It sought two cabinet portfolios and also nominated posts. To the top of it, Congress put a condition that Vijay should contest the 2029 Lok Sabha elections in alliance with it and apart from that the coming panchayat elections.Many are saying Rahul Gandhi is playing football with Vijay and showing stars to him. &nbsp;

Congress showing stars to Vijay

&nbsp;Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Arlekar sent TVK chief Vijay back for the second day in a row on Thursday. The Governor said Vijay cannot form the government yet because he does not have enough support. He asked Vijay to come back only after getting signatures from 118 MLAs to prove he has a majority. TVK won 108 seats in the recent election, but the magic number to form the government is 118. With Congress support of 5 MLAs, Vijay currently has 112, which is still short by 6.Vijay met the Governor at Raj Bhavan and said he has oral support from Congress. But the Governor wants written proof from 118 MLAs before starting the oath process. The Governor told him, “Please come with 118 signatures. Prove that TVK has majority and then the oath can happen.” Sources say the Governor wants to make sure the government is stable and will not fall after taking charge. This is the second time Vijay has been turned away. He also met the Governor on Wednesday with 112 MLAs backing him.The delay has started a big political debate in Tamil Nadu. VCK chief Thol Thirumavalavan asked the Governor to invite Vijay and let him prove majority on the Assembly floor later. He said BJP leaders are interfering and creating confusion. The Tamil Nadu CPI unit also said it is wrong to ask for proof before the oath. They said the leader of the single largest party should be given a chance first. Article 164 of the Constitution gives the Governor power to pick the Chief Minister. In past cases, Governors have allowed the single largest party to form a minority government.TVK’s win has ended the 30 year run of DMK and AIADMK in Tamil Nadu. But Vijay is set to give up one of the two seats he won. So TVK’s strength will drop to 107. With Congress, the total is 112. The party now needs 6 more MLAs to reach 118. On social media, #ThalapathyCM is trending as fans wait for Vijay’s next move. Political experts say TVK is talking to independents and smaller parties to get the remaining numbers. Everyone is now watching what the Governor will do next. &nbsp;

It is known that Chandra Babu Naidu\'s TDP form the biggest and the most important ally of NDA, which resulted in PM Modi and BJP come to power for the third time.\r\nTDP spokespersons and leaders like Jyotsna, Deepak Reddy very enthusiastically used to participate in Arnab Goswami\'s Republic Channel\'s all debates so that they can enjoy all the media limelight across the nation.\r\nHowever, the ongoing Indio crisis which left many flights cancelled and many people in trouble for many days, completely exposed the mindset of the TDP. During the debate, hosted by Arnab Goswami, TDP spokesperson Deepak Reddy, answering the question on the entire fiasco of Indigo and DGCA, shocked all saying that Chandra Babu\'s son Nara Lokesh is monitoring the situation and trying to resolve it. Today, after enjoying all the limelight, they escaped from attending the Republic debate, fearing Arnab Goswami\'s tough questions.\r\nWhen TDP MP Rammohan Naidu is the Civil Aviation Minister at the Centre, the responsibility lies with him and not Nara Lokesh or AP CM Chandra Babu Naidu. To the top of it, the crisis is not confined to Andhra Pradesh alone and neither he nor Nara Lokesh got no role to play in resolving the crisis.\r\nCivil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu promised strict action, DGCA and Indigo tendered apologies that mean nothing and what came to the shock of all is, the Goa Brich Club brothers Saurabh Luthra and Gaurav Luthra escaped from India to Phuket on Indigo flight.
