NEW DELHI: Dravid Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) chief MK Stalin on Thursday chaired a meeting of its 59 newly-elected MLAs at the party headquarters in Chennai, days after the counting of votes for the April 23 assembly elections.Several resolutions were adopted during the meeting, including one criticising the Congress for extending support to Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) despite contesting the elections in alliance with DMK. Led by actor-turned-politician Vijay, TVK emerged as the single-largest party in the state but fell short of the majority mark of 118 seats.In its first resolution, the DMK, which was voted out after a single term in office, thanked its alliance partners and the people of Tamil Nadu. The second resolution praised Stalin for his “decades of dedication to the party and Tamil Nadu”.The third resolution authorised Stalin — the outgoing chief minister who lost from his own Kolathur constituency — to take all political decisions on behalf of the party and stressed the importance of ensuring a stable government.The fourth resolution accused the Congress of “moving away” from the Secular Progressive Alliance.“Congress has failed to change its old political character. It secured one Rajya Sabha seat and 28 assembly constituencies as part of the DMK-led alliance, yet shifted towards an alternative front within days, undermining the victory achieved through the hard work of alliance cadres,” the resolution read.The Congress, which won five seats, has extended support to TVK on the condition that no “communal force” is included in the alliance. However, TVK remains six seats short of the majority mark, as Vijay — who won from both Perambur and Trichy East — will have to vacate one constituency.On Wednesday, Vijay met governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar and staked claim to form the government. The governor invited him again on Thursday and informed him that TVK had not demonstrated the majority support required to form the government.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.

Congress has alleged that the delay in inviting Vijay to form the government is a calculated move by the BJP-led Centre, describing it as an “undemocratic” attempt to undermine the people’s mandate.Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar called Vijay twice in two days and asked him to submit letters of support from allied MLAs and other partners, effectively establishing a working majority before an invitation to form the government.Neither the DMK nor the AIADMK managed to secure a majority, resulting in a hung assembly. Smaller parties such as the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi, Pattali Makkal Katchi, Communist Party of India, Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM), Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam and Amma Makkal Munnettra Kazagam are now being seen as potential kingmakers in the government formation process.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.

The chemical was reportedly detected in the viscera samples of all four.The case came to light in April after the muslim family, comprising a husband, wife and their two daughters — died following suspected food poisoning.Earlier, deputy commissioner of police (Zone 1) Pravin Munde had said the investigation into the deaths was under way and that food and body samples had been collected for examination following the post-mortem.In a self-recorded video statement issued last month, Munde said the family had hosted relatives for a meal at their residence on April 25.“A report of unnatural death has been reported at JJ Marg Police Station. Four members of a Muslim family – husband, wife and their two daughters – died. On 25th April, they had invited a few relatives to their home and had a meal with them. Around 10-10.30 pm, after the meal, the relative left,” he said.“The family consumed watermelon around 1-1.30 am at night. Around 5-6 am, they started complaining of vomiting and loose motions. They were rushed to a nearby hospital and yesterday, all four of them died,” Munde added.He had also said that a post-mortem was conducted and samples were collected as part of the investigation.“A postmortem was done, and food samples and samples from their body were also taken. Further investigation continued,” he had said.Earlier on Wednesday, officials said post-mortem examinations had been conducted and the viscera of the deceased preserved for chemical analysis, adding that as part of the investigation, the microbiology department of JJ Hospital submitted a preliminary report to the police stating that no bacterial infection had been detected in the victims.“As per the report, no bacterial infection has been detected so far in the bodies of the victims. No bacteria was found in their blood,” an official had said.Officials added the exact cause of death would be determined after the forensic science laboratory submitted its final report. “The report will also clarify whether any food items consumed by the family members during the day contained anything poisonous,” the official had added.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.
