During a trust vote in the Tamil Nadu Assembly, the internal rift within the AIADMK party became evident as 25 out of 47 MLAs sided with the Vijay-led government, contradicting claims made by the party's general secretary, Edappadi K. Palaniswami. Palaniswami stated that all AIADMK MLAs would vote against the government, but his assertion was challenged by rebel faction leader CV Shanmugam, who argued that no resolution had been signed by the MLAs as claimed. Shanmugam further alleged that Palaniswami's letter to the Speaker was forged. The situation escalated when SP Velumani, another rebel leader, called for the reinstatement of former party leaders VK Sasikala and TTV Dhinakaran, emphasizing that the rebel faction did not intend to split the party. Following the vote, Palaniswami accused the Vijay government of enticing MLAs with promises of ministerial positions, highlighting the ongoing turmoil within the AIADMK.
