AIADMK MLAs Moved to Puducherry Amid Tamil Nadu Post-Election Uncertainty

Amid post-election uncertainty in Tamil Nadu, 28 AIADMK MLAs have been relocated to a private resort in Puducherry. This move aims to prevent poaching and maintain party control during government formation talks, as AIADMK holds 47 seats and is a potential swing bloc. Reports indicate internal divisions within AIADMK over supporting the Vijay-led TVK alliance, with discussions of a power-sharing deal involving senior leader CV Shanmugam. The relocation reflects strategic efforts to manage legislative support amid fluid political dynamics.
