Chennai: The BJP’s four Tamil Nadu MLAs walked out of the Assembly Friday as the state’s 2025/26 budget was being read out. This was after the AIADMK’s 60+ MLAs also walked out. The reason – to protest the currency symbol swap and corruption allegations in TASMAC, the state liquor sales agency. The showdowns underline fast-increasing tension between the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and the opposition – the BJP and the AIADMK, the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam – ahead of next year’s Assembly election, which will be a big test of the saffron party’s popularity in a state that has historically rejected its muscular nationalist agenda in favour of the Dravidian political narrative. The BJP’s state unit boss, K Annamalai, told reporters, “Our four MLAs, walked out for a simple reason – which is, the whole budget is an eye-washing exercise. There is nothing productive about it.
