00:00News coming in from the state of Tamil Nadu.
00:02AIDMK, is it facing an exodus to the TVK?
00:05Three AIDMK MLAs have resigned.
00:07Big story on India today at 3pm.
00:09Three members of Legislative Assembly from the AIDMK have resigned.
00:12Does this mean it's the beginning of the end for the AIDMK faction?
00:17Are they, now that they have resigned, heading to the TVK?
00:20Who are the three MLAs?
00:22AIDMK MLA, Margatham Kumaravel, Jaya Kumar and Satyabhama
00:27have resigned from the MLA position
00:28and are meeting with the Speaker, JCP Prabhakar.
00:31All three MLAs meeting with the Minister, Adhavarjuna,
00:33after handing over the resignation letter to the Speaker.
00:36Pramod Madhav joining me on the phone line for this.
00:38Pramod, there was this long-time rumour now
00:40that possibly they could switch or there could be joining in the TVK.
00:45Are you hearing the same of these three MLAs?
00:47What is their reasoning that they have given?
00:49And can we expect more than three?
00:53Well, one thing is very certain here.
00:55What happened to the Puja side like right now?
00:57The first kind of shock that Tamil Nadu had for the day is that
01:00three MLAs, Margatham Sargentseger, Satyabhama and one more had gone ahead
01:04and they gave their resignation letter to the Speaker, JCP Prabhakar.
01:08But the interesting fact here is that once it is done,
01:10all three have gone ahead and they have also met Minister,
01:13Adhavarjuna, in his cabinet, the sports cabinet.
01:16And that is the shocking part right now because this optic itself very clearly says
01:20they want to resign from the AIDNK-1 position.
01:23And right now, they want to go ahead and, you know, they want to join TVK itself.
01:28So that is how very clearly the message that is being given over here
01:31because they go ahead.
01:32These are also considered to be MLAs from the KSP,
01:35Vedumani, Khachan, who have now somehow left applause.
01:38And now they have gone ahead.
01:40Given the time that is very simple,
01:42they hand over the resignation letter to the Speaker
01:45and immediately they go up to Minister,
01:47Adhavarjuna's chambers,
01:48and they have met him over there
01:50and greeted him as well, Puja.
01:53Ramoth, keep tracking the latest on that.
01:54Just one more question on this.
01:56So what is the protocol now?
01:57They have met the Speaker,
01:58they have submitted their resignation.
02:00What happens after this?
02:03Puja, one thing is very certain
02:04because already Tichy East Constituency
02:06in the state of Tamil Nadu is vacant
02:07as Chief Minister Vijay contested there only,
02:09there also,
02:10which means like within six months,
02:11election needs to be conducted at that spot.
02:13So right, it looks like this four,
02:15these three places also will become vacant soon,
02:18will be announced.
02:18And within six months or five months,
02:20so elections will be conducted over there.
02:22But also it looks like Puja,
02:23they will get tickets, TVK tickets
02:25to contest in the whistle signal
02:26and they can go ahead and contest over there.
02:28That looks to be the grand plan over here, Puja.
02:31All right, Pramod will be tracking
02:32all the latest on that.
02:35Three AID and KMLAs have resigned.
02:37Are there going to be more following soon?
