The Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) government, led by Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, is poised to face a critical floor test in the Tamil Nadu Assembly today. Currently, the TVK has 120 MLAs backing it, following support from 13 MLAs from allied parties including Congress and CPI. However, the party's strength is diminished by the exclusion of TVK MLA Srinivasa Sethupathi, who has been restrained from participating in the vote by the Madras High Court due to allegations of irregularities in the vote-counting process. This court ruling comes after a close electoral win over DMK leader Periyakaruppan. In a twist, the AIADMK party, facing internal strife, has seen a faction of nearly 30 MLAs rebel against their leader Edappadi K Palaniswami, opting to support Vijay's government instead. This floor test is not just a vote of confidence for the TVK but also a significant challenge for the AIADMK's leadership amid ongoing political upheaval in Tamil Nadu.
