Watch Vijay Appoints Astrologer As OSD In Tamil Nadu Govt, TVK Allies Call It ‘Unacceptable’TVK secured support from Congress (5), the Indian Union Muslim League (2), the Communist Party of India (2), the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (2) and the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (2), taking the ruling coalition’s strength to 120.What to expectThe numbers currently appear to favour the newly sworn-in chief minister. Even after one legislator was temporarily barred from participating in assembly proceedings, including the floor test, the coalition remains above the majority mark, making the trust vote appear manageable for Vijay.Ahead of the vote, Vijay spent Tuesday holding a series of meetings with alliance partners and opposition leaders to consolidate support. He met Congress leaders at the party’s state headquarters in Chennai, visited VCK chief Thol Thirumavalavan at his residence and held talks with IUML leaders.AIADMK vs AIADMKVijay also met rebel AIADMK leaders CV Shanmugam and SP Velumani. The AIADMK had won 47 seats in the election. The meetings intensified turmoil within the opposition camp after a group of around 30 AIADMK MLAs led by Shanmugam and Velumani announced support for the TVK government, openly challenging party chief Edappadi K Palaniswami.The rebel leaders accused Palaniswami of exploring an arrangement with the DMK to form an alternative government, a charge rejected by both the AIADMK leadership and the DMK. Shanmugam defended the decision, saying the AIADMK had to adapt to the new political reality after its poor electoral performance. He said the party should support TVK to revive what he described as “Amma rule,” referring to former chief minister J Jayalalithaa.The official AIADMK faction, however, issued a whip directing all 47 party MLAs to vote against the confidence motion. Senior leader Agri SS Krishnamurthy warned that violations of the whip would invite action under the anti-defection law.One more setback before the floor testAnother complication emerged after the Madras High Court restrained TVK MLA R Seenivasa Sethupathy from participating in the trust vote. Sethupathy had won the Tiruppattur seat by a margin of one vote, and his election was challenged by DMK’s KR Periakaruppan over alleged counting irregularities. The court’s interim order reduced TVK’s effective tally from 120 to 119 still one above the majority mark of 118. Sethupathy has since approached the Supreme Court, which is expected to hear the matter on Wednesday.A forgery row, tooMeanwhile, political controversy broke out over TVK’s claimed support from Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam MLA S Kamaraj. AMMK chief TTV Dhinakaran accused TVK of using a forged support letter and an AI-generated video to falsely project his MLA’s backing. TVK denied the allegation and released footage purportedly showing Kamaraj signing the support letter. Kamaraj has since been expelled from the AMMK.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.

NEW DELHI: Patients across the country may face disruption in routine medicine purchases on May 20 as more than 12.4 lakh chemists prepare for a nationwide shutdown against online medicine sales and deep discounting by e-pharmacy platforms.The All India Organisation of Chemists and Druggists (AIOCD) said the protest is aimed at highlighting risks to patient safety from unregulated online sale of medicines. The association alleged that medicines were being delivered without proper verification, enabling repeated use of prescriptions and easier access to antibiotics and habit-forming drugs. It warned that AI-generated fake prescriptions and uncontrolled medicine sales could fuel antimicrobial resistance (AMR).The body also opposed continuation of Covid-era relaxations under G.S.R. 220(E), alleging digital platforms were using temporary provisions to bypass safeguards under drug regulations. It demanded withdrawal of both G.S.R. 220(E) and G.S.R. 817(E), linked to e-pharmacy operations.Retail pharmacists said deep discounting by large online platforms was threatening the survival of neighbourhood chemists, especially in rural and semi-urban areas where local pharmacies remain the first point of healthcare access. The association claimed nearly five crore people dependent on the pharmaceutical trade could be affected.AIOCD president J.S. Shinde and general secretary Rajiv Singhal said the issue was “not merely a matter of trade, but of patient safety”, warning that the agitation could intensify if no action was taken before May 20.Chemist associations said emergency medicines would continue to remain available in several areas during the shutdown.About the AuthorAnuja JaiswalAnuja Jaiswal is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India, with an impressive 18-year career in narrative journalism.

Out of their “love for society and spirit for community”, they rallied like-minded people and tried to provide safety to others, including those who were not Hindus.On India-Pakistan ties, he said trust in Pakistan’s military and political leadership is completely missing in India, turning people-to-people contact into the best way to break the deadlock.“That should be tried more and more. I believe strongly that ultimately civil society relations will work. Because we have a cultural relation and we have been one nation,” he said, adding, “Security and self-respect of a country have to be protected, and govt of the day should take care of it. But at the same time, we need not close the doors. We should always be ready to engage in dialogue.”Hosabale also criticised DMK’s Udhayanidhi Stalin’s call for eradicating ‘Sanatan Dharma’. “It is his opinion, and people have answered it in the elections. Sanatan Dharma will not end just because somebody said so,” he said.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosRahul Gandhi Submits Dissent Note On CBI Chief Selection After Key Meet At PM Modi’s Residence‘India Should Not Close Doors For Dialogue With Pakistan’: RSS General Secretary HosabaleVijay Appoints Astrologer As OSD In Tamil Nadu Govt, TVK Allies Call It ‘Unacceptable’Kerala CM Race Heats Up, KC Venugopal Emerges Frontrunner As Rahul Gandhi Holds KeyNEET-UG 2026 Cancelled: NTA Confirms WhatsApp Leak, Announces Refunds & CBI ProbeVijay Meets AIADMK Rebels As EPS Faces Internal Revolt Before Key Assembly VoteIndia Has 60 Days Of Crude Oil LNG; 45 Days Of LPG; Oil Firms Losing ₹1,000 Cr A Day: Hardeep PuriNEET-UG 2026 Cancelled After Leak Verified; NTA Promises Fair Re-Exam For Students | WatchMEA Slams China Over Pakistan Support, Says Shielding Terror Hurts Reputation | WatchSri Lanka Navy Arrests 6 Indian Fishermen, TN CM Vijay Writes To Jaishankar Seeking Their Release123Photostories10 baby boy names inspired by mythological heroes and cosmic warriorsThrowback to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s Cannes saree looks that outslayed every gown on the red carpetWalking 10,000 steps every day?

Such actions (misadventures) come from across the border. People can say what they want, but as far as we are concerned, India will remain prepared.”At a defence event organised by Bramha Research Foundation in Mumbai on Monday, the Vice Admiral highlighted that the country has been a victim of terrorism for years, and that Operation Sindoor was targeted specifically at terror camps and terrorists involved in Pahalgam terror attack. The country cannot accept terrorist activities, especially when they emanate from foreign soil, he said, pointing out that Operation Sindoor is continuing.In the current global situation, the Vice Admiral said the global security environment is undergoing profound changes. Outlining that nearly 95% of India’s trade by volume and roughly 70% by value continues to transit on the seas, he said that India’s competitiveness depends on safe lanes. “The Indian Ocean is, and has always been, India’s arena. Today, the Indo-Pacific has emerged as a defining theatre of 21st-century geopolitics. The Indian Ocean is becoming even more contested, more watched and more consequential. The Indian Navy is the guardian of this domain,” he said.On defence opportunities for MSMEs, he said, “I just think that it takes some time for MSMEs to find the momentum. Producing defence-grade equipment in any country is not something that you do fast; you’ve got to do it slowly, methodically… (Our) specifications are very stringent. You don’t get anything off the shelf. Everything needs to be made from an idea. And, therefore, most industries in the world do take some time for technologies to mature.”End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosRahul Gandhi Submits Dissent Note On CBI Chief Selection After Key Meet At PM Modi’s Residence‘India Should Not Close Doors For Dialogue With Pakistan’: RSS General Secretary HosabaleVijay Appoints Astrologer As OSD In Tamil Nadu Govt, TVK Allies Call It ‘Unacceptable’Kerala CM Race Heats Up, KC Venugopal Emerges Frontrunner As Rahul Gandhi Holds KeyNEET-UG 2026 Cancelled: NTA Confirms WhatsApp Leak, Announces Refunds & CBI ProbeVijay Meets AIADMK Rebels As EPS Faces Internal Revolt Before Key Assembly VoteIndia Has 60 Days Of Crude Oil LNG; 45 Days Of LPG; Oil Firms Losing ₹1,000 Cr A Day: Hardeep PuriNEET-UG 2026 Cancelled After Leak Verified; NTA Promises Fair Re-Exam For Students | WatchMEA Slams China Over Pakistan Support, Says Shielding Terror Hurts Reputation | WatchSri Lanka Navy Arrests 6 Indian Fishermen, TN CM Vijay Writes To Jaishankar Seeking Their Release123PhotostoriesThrowback to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s Cannes saree looks that outslayed every gown on the red carpetWalking 10,000 steps every day?
