The TVK-led Alliance (abbr. TVK+) is an Indian regional political party alliance in the state of Tamil Nadu and the union territory of Puducherry led by the TVK. It was founded by TVK President Vijay in 2026. There is credible speculation that the alliance was formed as part of an attempt to form a popular government that fulfills the simple-majority requirement.[2]

History

In March 2026, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) and Neyam Makkal Kazhagam (NMK) contested the 2026 Puducherry Legislative Assembly election as part of an alliance led by TVK. Under the seat-sharing agreement, NMK was allotted two constituencies: Orleampeth and Thattanchavady.[3]

In May 2026, following a hung assembly in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), led by Vijay, invited the Indian National Congress (INC), Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)), and Communist Party of India (CPI) to form government.[4]

On 6 May 2026, the Indian National Congress (INC) agreed to form an alliance with Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), stating that the alliance would “bring back the legacy of K. Kamaraj, the social justice ideals of Periyar E. V. Ramasamy, and the constitutional principles of B. R. Ambedkar in Tamil Nadu.[5]
