Added: 2026-05-13

[00:00:00]But let's cut across to more breaking news coming in one question of the DMK and whether they'll stage a walk out.

[00:00:05]What about the AIA DMK two factions 30 MLAs with CV Shanukam SPU money and then there's EPS on the other side with just about 17 MLAs on his side and the AIAMK.

[00:00:18]When I say AIAMK, who am I referring to here? EPS. He remains the general secretary of the party and so his word is the party's word. Even now despite the rebellion AIA DMK has warned that there will be legal action if MLAs vote for Vijay and this is important why because the CV Shmugam SP veumani faction has already said that their support is for Vijay. In a press conference yesterday, they made it very clear that they are backing Vijay. And so EPS has come out and said if you do that, we will take legal action because you have to abide by the whip issued by the party. Abstaining also they want against. They've said voting for TVK or even an abstension equals defection.

[00:01:00]That is the clear message going across from the AIAMK. Let's cut across to some reactions coming in.

[00:01:07]Fore!

[00:01:10]Foreign! Foreign!

[00:01:30]for Okay, quick update once again from Promote Madava on this promote. Does this mean that the rebels find themselves in a predicament where they can no longer do what they wanted to do which is vote for Vijay vote for TVK uh Axa one important aspect is that when it comes to the Tamil Nadu assembly that's your we are here right now the decision final decision is taken by the speaker of the assembly so that's the important aspect and this is a place of power for the state of Tamil Nadu but like you exactly mentioned there is going to be a lot of confusion because the person who spoke to us yesterday was agree Krishna Morti he has been chosen as the whip by the general secretary at a party parish swami and the so you saw the tone and the way he was speaking it was absolutely we can even use the word threatening over here because that's the way he said like you know if you do not it's an order ins issued by Kwami the general secretary of aidk and if you do not abide by it legal action would be taken very clearly CV Shanmugum team which says they have the upper hand and the majority they claim that they will go ahead and support TVK in fact even before TVK could accept CV Shanbukum said that they are not in any kind of alliance which means no NDA alliance but they are with TVK alliance. So that's a kind of like a really should we call it confusing or confident way of CV Shanukam saying that even before TVK could accept it. CV Shan Mukum says that this aidk faction with the chief minister Vijay CVK. In fact we also saw Vijay going to their residence I mean office yesterday a warm warm welcome by CV Shanmugum and others over there. That was quite surprising while general secretary OS Banan and agrici at the same time were claiming over here that look you need to vote against the confidence motion. So definitely that's going to be a very big development today as well. Aita >> okay so we'll have wait and watch to see which way this will go. Look, whichever scenario you really play out, it definitely doesn't look like TVK will face a problem really in passing this flow test that the numbers are on their side even if it's just 120 or if it goes up to 150. But the repercussions are huge irrespective largely because of what the DNK and AIADMK will do. If we see a surprise on the cards from either one of the parties, that really will define what Tamil Nadaru politics will look like in the weeks ahead.

[00:04:01]I'm going to keep coming across to you for the latest updates
