Floor Test · 13 May 2026 · Majority Proven
CM Vijay cleared the 118-seat majority bar with 144 votes in the Tamil Nadu Assembly. A 25-MLA AIADMK rebel bloc defied EPS to back TVK. DMK walked out. The government stands.
Curated Updates
The Congress cabinet induction drew official silence from DMK, while VCK continues to deliberate on whether to join the TVK government. The expansion is widely read as Vijay delivering on coalition governance — something Tamil Nadu has rarely seen since the Dravidian era began in 1967.
AIADMK's internal rift has deepened on three fronts: a Speaker disqualification petition against 25 rebel MLAs, a General Council demand from the breakaway faction, and reported efforts to bring back Sasikala and TTV Dhinakaran to consolidate anti-EPS forces.
AIADMK leadership replaced district secretaries in 26 districts, including 12 legislators who voted for the TVK government during the May 13 floor test. The breakaway faction led by C. Ve. Shanmugam and S.P. Velumani is demanding a General Council meeting to challenge EPS's authority.
Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar, currently holding additional charge, arrived in Chennai on Wednesday evening to oversee the swearing-in formalities — his special visit underlining the constitutional and political significance of TVK's first cabinet expansion.
