In Tamil Nadu, the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam government led by C. Joseph Vijay won the floor test in the Tamil Nadu Assembly, with 144 MLAs voting in favour, demonstrating a clear majority in the House. Meanwhile, 22 MLAs voted against the confidence motion.
The DMK, the major opposition party, walked out of the Assembly during the proceedings. Mr. Vijay was mandated by the governor of Tamil Nadu, Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar, to prove his majority in the floor of the house after his party was able to secure only 108 seats in the recently concluded assembly election.
