Four opposition lawmakers in Tamil Nadu, a southern state in India, have resigned from their party in a major reshuffling of personal alliances in the aftermath of the recent state elections.
 
Three have already joined the newly formed ruling party led by actor-turned-politician Vijay, and the fourth is expected to follow.
 
The new chief minister's two-year-old party fell just short of a majority in the election, but he entered into a fragile coalition with just enough seats to prove a majority.
 
The defections effectively give the movie star a more stable grip on power.
