Highlights
  • E K Palaniswami became the CM after winning the trust vote in Tamil Nadu assembly.
  • Soon after, DMK leader MK Stalin went on strike at the Marina Beach against the floor test.
  • MK Stalin was detained by police. 

 

The Tamil Nadu’s political stand-off over the position of Chief Minister comes to an end with Edappadi K Palanisamy winning the floor test on the state assembly. By winning 122 votes, Sasikala Natarajan’s choice Palanisamy won over his opposition, and amidst high-octane drama, he became the CM. 

 

However in a democracy, he is not the popularly desired candidate, and tweets are coming in to show the popular sentiment of people. 

 

Here are a couple of tweet reactions: 
 

 

There you go. Seems like we have another CM. Jai de-mockcrazy
