Following the assembly election results, the Tamil Nadu Victory Party, led by C. Joseph Vijay, secured 108 seats, while a majority of 118 seats was required to form a government. This prompted the party to begin garnering support from other political parties.

Following this, the Congress (5 seats), the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (2 seats), the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (2 seats), the Communist Party of India (2 seats), and the Indian Union Muslim League (2 seats) claimed support. Amidst political dynamics, C. Joseph Vijay was finally sworn in as Chief Minister, accompanied by nine ministers.

The 17th Legislative Assembly was formed on May 10, and the MLAs were subsequently sworn in. Now, discussions have intensified in political circles regarding the Delhi visit, which is likely to discuss a number of issues related to state development and central-state cooperation.
