Vijay Wins Tamil Nadu Trust Vote With 144 MLAs Amid AIADMK Split And Assembly Chaos

Chief Minister Vijay won the Tamil Nadu Assembly trust vote with the support of 144 MLAs, comfortably crossing the majority mark of 118. However, the floor test witnessed dramatic scenes, including opposition protests, DMK walkouts, abstentions and signs of a split within the AIADMK. Reports suggest a section of AIADMK MLAs backed Vijay despite EPS officially opposing the motion. The trust vote is being seen as a major political victory for the TVK government and a significant moment in Tamil Nadu politics.
