Zoho co-founder Sridhar Vembu has called for a re-election in Tamil Nadu, citing uncertainty over actor-politician Vijay’s party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), forming a stable government. In a post on social media platform X, Vembu said the numbers do not add up for a clear majority and warned that any government formed under current conditions could face instability due to internal pressures.

Vembu suggested that imposing President’s Rule followed by a new election might be the best course of action, emphasizing the need for strict enforcement of a “no cash for votes” policy to ensure genuine voter support. He expressed confidence that Vijay would return with a strong majority if such an election were held. He also urged the DMK and AIADMK to unite if they wished to challenge Vijay, while suggesting that the BJP should contest independently even if it risks winning no seats.

Vijay’s TVK, formed just two years ago, won 108 of 234 seats in the April 23 assembly election, falling ten seats short of the 118 needed for a majority.
