Aiadmk

AIADMK Deputy General Secretary KP Munusamy made the announcement following a unanimous resolution passed during a meeting of the party's MPs, MLAs, and district leaders at its Chennai headquarters.

The initiative to suspend Raghav Chadha was undertaken by Piyush Goyal, who asserted that Chadha's actions were morally questionable. Goyal contended that Chadha's behavior ran counter to the expectations of a parliamentarian and amounted to a breach of privilege.

While there has been no official confirmation from the ED regarding the raids, sources familiar with the situation revealed that Ponmudi, a DMK minister, was being subjected to a raid in connection with a case involving purported losses to the exchequer during his tenure as a minister in the DMK government from 2007 to 2011.

A 2018 tweet by MK Stalin, then the leader of the opposition, demanding the dismissal of the chief minister and ministers from the previous AIADMK regime, is making waves on social media after Governor RN Ravi's now-reversed decision to sack Senthil Balaji

Balaji in judicial custody amid the investigation against him under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in a case going back to 2014 when he was transport minister under the previous All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) regime.

Last month, the Supreme Court had allowed a police and ED probe into an alleged cash-for-jobs scam against Balaji when he was the transport minister in the AIADMK government in 2014, who also holds the Prohibition and Excise portfolio.

In a tweet, DCM DK Shivakumar said, "Rs 1,000 crore was declared but was not spent. That money will be used to implement the project. There is no anger or hatred towards our brothers in Tamil Nadu. They are like our brothers and sisters."

Speaking to reporters in Coimbatore, the minister said, "The government has granted permission to serve liquor only at international sports events like the IPL and at GIM, as prevailing in other states. This can't be permitted to be served at wedding events."

Palaniswami carefully built his image as a leader from a humble background, from a farming family and often appeared in a green turban used by farmers during election campaigns. He has also ensured that none from his immediate family were in party posts.

State administration and the police have claimed that the videos showing labourers being attacked are fake and the two incidents occurred much earlier in Tiruppur and Coimbatore. "Both cases were not clashes between the people of Tamil Nadu and migrant workers," they said.

In a big win for E Palaniswami (EPS) faction, the SC affirmed the Madras HC division bench decision that restored EPS as AIADMK party’s single leader. Reacting to the verdict, he said, "Jayalalithaa said in the Assembly that this party will rule for 100 years. This has been confirmed by the judgment."

The Supreme Court rejected O Panneerselvam's (OPS) plea challenging Madras High Court division bench decision. Earlier, the Madras High Court division bench announced Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS) as the AIADMK party’s single leader.

On Wednesday, the EPS faction staged a hunger strike as a reaction to being evicted from the Tamil Nadu assembly on Tuesday and due to the speaker not removing O Panneerselvam from the seat of deputy opposition leader.

The more powerful EPS faction has appointed a new deputy leader and has written several letters requesting that OPS not be seated next to EPS. Speaker M Appavu has stated that he is investigating the matter.

The Tamil Nadu Assembly session started on Monday (October 17) with EPS and 61 MLAs supporting his leadership boycotting the session. EPS boycotted after O Panneerselvam occupied the seat allotted for the deputy leader of the Opposition next to the Opposition leader.
