Chennai, Dec 11 (PTI) The TVK on Thursday authorised its founder Vijay to decide on the alliance and also announced him as the chief ministerial candidate for the Assembly election next year.
The party said a special committee will be formed for negotiating the electoral pact, but said the final decision on alliances will be made by Vijay.
"The corrupt DMK regime should be removed, and a prosperous new Tamil Nadu must be created. To ensure this, we will accept our leader Vijay as the chief minister (candidate) and welcome into our alliance those willing to accept his leadership," a resolution passed by the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam at its meeting here said.
