Madras High Court Upholds Resignation of 6 AIADMK MLAs Who Joined Vijay's TVK
The ruling will decide petitions alleging the Speaker accepted the resignations without proper inquiry while disqualification proceedings were still pending.
- On Tuesday, the Madras High Court will pronounce its verdict on petitions challenging Assembly Speaker JCD Prabhakar's decision to accept the resignations of six All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam MLAs.
- Disqualification proceedings began after the legislators allegedly defied their party whip, cross-voting to support Chief Minister Joseph Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam government during a confidence motion.
- AIADMK Whip Agri Krishnamurthy and National People's Power Party leader Ravi filed petitions alleging the Speaker accepted resignations hastily without inquiry, while the Assembly Secretary maintains that resignation is a voluntary right.
- Former legislators Maragatham Kumaravel, P Sathyabhama, Isakki Subbaiah, Jayakumar, MR Vijayabhaskar, and C Vijayabhaskar re-contested their seats, with Kumaravel and Sathyabhama winning under the TVK symbol.
- Chief Minister Vijay framed the election results as a rejection of "transactional politics," asserting his campaign relied on the "formula of love, affection, and relationships" rather than financial inducement.
