TVK govt. keen on getting elected MLAs to quit; not focused on T.N.’s development: T.T.V. Dhinakaran
T.T.V. Dhinakaran has accused the ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party of orchestrating the resignation of six AIADMK MLAs to manipulate the legislative assembly's numbers. He claims the government is prioritizing political survival over the development of Tamil Nadu.
Why it matters
This highlights ongoing political instability and allegations of 'horse trading' in Tamil Nadu's legislative landscape, reflecting deep partisan tensions.
The Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) appears to be keen on getting the elected MLAs quit from the Legislative Assembly and does not seem to be interested in developing the State, said Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam leader TTV Dhinakaran in Madurai on Saturday (July 11, 2026).
Speaking to media persons, he said that the act of resignations by six AIADMK MLAs was nothing but horse trading. By reducing the number of MLAs in the Assembly, the TVK feels that it would be safe, even if there was any danger to its government in the future.
On the part of the six MLAs, Mr. Dinakaran said that they have cheated the people of the respective Assembly segments.
