The move is being seen as a major assertion by the Velumani camp and has fuelled speculation of an internal power struggle aimed at sidelining party general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami within the assembly.This comes after reports suggested that a few MLAs had demanded that Edappadi K Palaniswami step down following the party’s poor electoral performance.AIADMK contested 167 out of 234 constituencies and the party was able to secure only 47 seats.In the wake of the poll results, a series of MLA meetings chaired by party general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami were held. Several senior AIADMK leaders and former ministers, including Shanmugam and Velumani, along with MLAs backing them, stayed away from the meetings convened by Palaniswami.”There is a clear split within the party. Many MLAs want a change in leadership. If Palaniswami continues as a leader, there is a possibility of some MLAs extending support to the TVK,” ANI quoted former AIADMK leader K C Palanisamy saying.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

This reflects the debased and diseased mindset of the SP leadership. Does Akhilesh Yadav have the courage to take action against this foul mouth?” said BJP spokesperson CR Kesavan. He also shared the video in which Singh can be heard using foul language against the prime minister, while also labelling him a “deshvirodhi (anti-national)”.Singh was criticising PM Modi’s suggestion to people when he urged them to “buy less gold, reduce foreign travels and restrict fuel use” amid fuel crisis due to the tensions in the Middle East. “The words used are so offensive that repeating them here would be disrespectful to the 140 crore people of India and the 23 crore people of Uttar Pradesh. At the behest of Akhilesh Yadav, the leader of the broken cycle, Samajwadi Party leaders resort to abuses and objectionable language,” said BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia.PM Modi on Sunday called on citizens to make lifestyle and consumption changes to help conserve foreign exchange and lessen the economic impact of the West Asia conflict and global energy crisis. Speaking at an event in Secunderabad, he urged people to reduce fuel consumption, use public transport and avoid unnecessary foreign travel, stressing the need for “collective restraint” and a “duty-first” approach amid rising energy prices and supply chain disruptions.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

Starmer faces major party revolt, do-or-die speech fails to crush doubters NEW DELHI: Tamil Nadu chief minister C Joseph Vijay on Monday met DMK president and former chief minister MK Stalin at his Alwarpet residence in Chennai, in what was officially described as a “courtesy call”. He also called on PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss at his residence in a high-profile political outreach days before the newly formed TVK government faces a crucial floor test in the Assembly on May 13.The meeting marked Vijay’s first interaction with Stalin after assuming office following the Assembly election victory. Stalin and his son, deputy chief minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, welcomed Vijay warmly at the residence. Udhayanidhi greeted Vijay with a handshake and a hug, while Stalin later also hugged Vijay as he escorted him inside his residence. Watch CM Vijay Meets MK Stalin Amid Treasury Row, Fuels Buzz Over Tamil Nadu’s Political ResetSharing about the meeting, the DMK chief extended his best wishes to the new Tamil Nadu chief minister as he “extended advice” regarding Vijay’s newly assumed role. He said, “Honourable Mr. Vijay, who has assumed the office of Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, met me with political courtesy and received my felicitations. I extended to him my heartfelt felicitations and advice.”During the meeting, Vijay and Stalin exchanged silk shawls and bouquets. Udhayanidhi also presented Vijay with a book chronicling the DMK’s political history titled “Kalathin Niram Karuppu Sivappu-DMK 75”.The high-profile meeting assumes political significance as it comes just a day after Vijay launched a sharp attack on the previous DMK regime over the state’s alleged Rs 10 lakh crore debt burden in an address at his swearing-in ceremony. He had also taken an indirect swipe at the DMK over “multiple power centres”, asserting that he alone would be the power centre in the TVK-led government. Stalin had responded strongly to Vijay’s remarks on the debt issue.PMK chief Ramadoss also welcomed Vijay with garland and shawl to his residence.TVK’s Vijay meets MDMK leader Durai VaikoLater in the day, Vijay visited MDMK founder Vaiko at his residence, where he was received by the veteran leader’s son and MP Durai Vaiko.During the meeting, Vaiko presented Vijay with a white silk shawl and garlanded him, while the Chief Minister reciprocated by honouring the MDMK leader with a shawl. The two leaders were also seen engaging in a brief conversation as supporters and party functionaries gathered at the residence greeted Vijay.Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Vaiko praised Vijay’s post-election rise, saying he had emerged as a “big leader” and that the Assembly election results reflected the people’s desire for change in Tamil Nadu.Lauding Vijay’s outreach to opposition leaders, including former chief minister MK Stalin, Vaiko said the move reminded him of similar political gestures by “Anna” as he said, “CM Joseph Vijay meeting opposition leaders, including former CM MK Stalin, reminds one of a similar move by Anna; I have asked him to follow the path of secularism,” Vaiko said.He further added that Vijay’s meetings with leaders across party lines sent out a positive message that “healthy politics should be encouraged in Tamil Nadu.”TVK’s floor testThe meeting comes amid intense political activity ahead of the trust vote, where Vijay will seek to prove his majority in the 234-member Assembly. TVK currently has 107 MLAs after Vijay resigned from the Tiruchirappali East seat, and enjoys the support of 13 legislators from the Congress, VCK, IUML and Left parties.Several of these parties, including the VCK, IUML and the Left, are part of the DMK-led alliance, while the Congress, which has backed TVK, was previously allied with the DMK.The interaction between Vijay and Stalin also comes after a bitter electoral contest between the DMK and TVK in the run-up to the April 23 Assembly elections, which culminated in Vijay emerging victorious.Following his meeting with Stalin, Vijay also visited MDMK founder Vaiko at his residence. Vaiko’s son and MP Durai Vaiko received the Chief Minister during the visit.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
