Tiruchirappalli, May 7 -- Congress Rajya Sabha MP Christopher Tilak addressed reporters at the Trichy airport and said he was travelling to Chennai with the hope that clarity would emerge within the next two days regarding the formation of the new government.

He said discussions would be held with party functionaries on the Assembly election victory and on what the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) intends to do next. He expressed confidence that a new government could assume office within the next 10 days.

Claiming that TVK secured 35 per cent of the votes while the DMK obtained 30 per cent, he said the verdict reflected the people's opposition to the BJP and showed that voters did not want the BJP to gain a foothold in Tamil Nadu.
