T.T.V. Dhinakaran, the AMMK chief and General Secretary, has called for a probe into a support letter submitted to the Governor [1].
The allegation comes amid a government-formation crisis in Tamil Nadu. If the claims of forgery are proven, it could undermine the legitimacy of the coalition efforts led by Vijay and the TVK party.
Dhinakaran said a video released by the TVK is fake [2]. He challenged the authenticity of a support letter submitted to the Governor's office on behalf of MLA Kamaraj [3]. According to Dhinakaran, the document provided is merely a xerox copy and not the original version [1].
The AMMK leader said the timing of the video release, which occurred at midnight, suggests an attempt to avoid presenting an original document [1]. He described the action as a bid for horse-trading and fraud intended to artificially inflate the strength of Vijay's political alliance [2].
Dhinakaran said the lack of an original document indicates a deliberate effort to mislead the Governor regarding the level of legislative support for the TVK [3]. He has formally demanded an investigation into the matter to determine if the letter was forged [2].
The dispute centers on the validity of the support garnered from current members of the legislative assembly. The Governor's office serves as the central point for these submissions during the current political tension in the state [3].
“Dhinakaran said a video released by the TVK is fake”
This dispute highlights the volatility of coalition-building in Tamil Nadu, where the authenticity of legislative support letters can determine who is invited to form a government. By challenging the validity of the TVK's documentation, Dhinakaran is attempting to delegitimize Vijay's standing with the Governor and cast doubt on the TVK's ability to secure genuine lawmaker loyalty.
