AIADMK has lodged a complaint with Arlekar regarding the lack of action on its petitions concerning 'horse trading'. The party's agricultural wing secretary and Assembly whip, S.S. Krishnamurthy, stated there was no follow-up on their memorandum submitted to Assembly Speaker J.C.D. Prabhakar.

M.R. Vijayabhaskar resigns as MLA in Tamil Nadu, accepted by Legislative Assembly Speaker J.C.D. Prabhakar. He is the sixth AIADMK MLA to resign months after the Assembly elections.

Tamil Nadu Assembly Speaker J.C.D. Prabhakar’s decision echoes the 2017-18 experience of 11 AIADMK MLAs who faced disqualification but were spared due to the then Speaker P. Dhanapal’s inaction. The Madras High Court later dismissed a plea for action against the legislators.
