In a significant political shift in Tamil Nadu, three rebel legislators from the AIADMK have resigned and joined the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), led by Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay. The MLAs—Maragatham Kumaravel from Maduranthakam, P Sathyabama from Dharapuram, and S Jayakumar from Perundurai—met with Assembly Speaker J C D Prabhakar to submit their resignations. These legislators were part of a faction that had previously supported the TVK government during a floor test on May 13, defying AIADMK party orders. Their departure reduces the strength of the rebel faction from 25 to 17 MLAs, while the number of legislators supporting AIADMK leader Edappadi K Palaniswami has risen to 27. Following the resignations, the three MLAs met TVK Minister Aadhav Arjuna, solidifying their new political alignment. Meanwhile, five other MLAs from the rebel camp have returned to Palaniswami's fold, indicating a potential consolidation of power within the AIADMK.
