Thirumavalavan, attended the swearing-in ceremony alongside senior TVK leaders and legislators.

Velumani on Tuesday announced its decision to support the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK)-led government headed by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay.

The development comes amid growing signs of an internal split within the AIADMK following the party’s performance in the recently concluded Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. Shanmugam says AIADMK cannot align with DMK Shanmugam alleged that AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami was exploring the possibility of forming a government with support from the DMK, a move he claimed was strongly opposed by a majority within the party. According to Shanmugam, the AIADMK was founded to oppose the DMK and any alliance with the ruling party would weaken the organisation politically.

Fear of President’s rule, ‘BJP by backdoor’: How Vijay got the support he needed

Published by Parlour News

When Tamil Nadu’s election results came in on May 4, Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) had won 108 seats in a 234-member Assembly — the single largest mandate, but short of the majority. What followed was five days of negotiations in which every party that eventually backed Vijay did so citing not confidence in his leadership as such, but the fear of what would happen without it. Vijay meets Governor a fourth time. (Tamil Nadu Lok Bhavan/ANI Video ) That fear had two faces: President’s Rule, and the Centre’s ruling BJP. This, even when the BJP has a grand total of one seat in the new, 17th Tamil Nadu assembly. Legal spectre: Article 356 When no party can demonstrate a majority in a state assembly, the Governor may recommend to the President that the state cannot be governed constitutionally. Under Article 356 of the Constitution, the President can then impose central rule, dissolving or suspending the state assembly and placing the state under direct governance from New Delhi. In Tamil Nadu, with its fierce tradition …

Kolkata: The BJP whitewashed the Trinamool Congress in nine of the 23 districts of West Bengal, racking up all 68 seats these regions had to offer on its way to paint the State saffron in the watershed election. As the party marched to power in the State for the first time, the mandate in these nine districts – from north Bengal’s hills to the central part of the south – has shown that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had correctly predicted in his campaign trail that TMC would fail to open its account in multiple districts. The BJP won 206 seats to secure more than a two-thirds majority in the West Bengal Assembly polls, ending the TMC’s 15-year rule as it was decimated to around 80 in the 294-strong Assembly. The result also marked the BJP’s decisive breach of its last major eastern bastion, completing its saffron arc across ‘Anga, Banga and Kalinga’ (Bihar, Bengal and Odisha). At the very top of the BJP’s performance chart is the Purba Medinipur district, where its most prominent poll …
