Political activities have intensified for government formation in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Keralam after declaration of Assembly poll results.

Following the BJP’s sweeping victory in the West Bengal Assembly elections, preparations are in full swing for the formation of the new government and the oath-taking ceremony in the state. The new cabinet members are likely to be sworn in on the 9th of this month, the birth anniversary of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah are expected to attend the ceremony.

In Tamil Nadu actor-turned-politician C. Joseph Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) has emerged as the single largest party in the state, winning 108 seats. Following the party’s strong electoral debut, newly elected TVK legislators have formally elected Mr Vijay as their leader in legislative party meeting at the party headquarters in Panaiyur, near Chennai.  Meanwhile, outgoing Chief Minister M.K. Stalin has submitted his resignation to the Governor, which has been accepted.

A day after the decisive victory of the National Democratic Alliance in the Puducherry Assembly Elections, hectic consultations on the formation of the new government have begun. 

In Keralam, the Congress-led UDF is continuing its informal discussion to form Government.
