https://ift.tt/lowAs96 It was widely reported on Friday that TTV Dhinakaran's lone MLA in AMMK was firmly backing actor-politician Vijay, who is hard-pressed to muster the written support of at least 118 MLAs to fulfil Governor RV Arlekar's precondition for forming the government. However, hours after the TVK chief met the Governor and reportedly submitted letters of support from 116 MLAs, Dhinakaran announced support to the AIADMK, which has not even attempted to form a government of its own. Asked about his perceived U-turn, Dhinakaran described his party's alleged letter of support to TVK as either "forgery" or "horse-trading". In an interview with NDTV, Dhinakaran, the nephew of late Jayalalithaa's aide Sasikala, accused Vijay's TVK of trying to poach his MLA. He also demanded action against the party for alleged horse-trading, a term used to describe the trade of political loyalties in return for inducements. "How can they do hors...

https://ift.tt/A5m08ny Fifteen years is a long time to go without a haircut. In West Bengal's Cooch Behar, one man says politics was the reason. Baneshwar Barman, a resident of Bengal's Baman Para village, finally cut his hair this week after fulfilling a vow he claims to have made in 2011: that he would not trim his hair as long as the All India Trinamool Congress remained in power in West Bengal. On Thursday morning, surrounded by neighbours and curious onlookers, Barman had his head shaved near his home. Barman, a migrant worker employed at brick kilns and known in the area as a BJP supporter, maintained the vow for nearly a decade and a half. “Since the Trinamool government came, I haven't even touched a barber's shop,” he said. Asked whether the long hair affected his work, Barman laughed and replied: “No, I tie it in a bun.” “On May 4, the day the election results were declared, my eyes were glued to the TV screen from early morning. When the BJP cross...

https://ift.tt/ef6M7XU Actor Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam or TVK warned this evening that every MLA of the party will resign if either of the two Dravida parties -- MK Stalin's DMK or E Palaniswami's AIADMK -- try to stake claim to form government in Tamil Nadu, sources have said. The decision came on the heels of two crucial meetings in the DMK and AIADMK camps. The TVK now suspects that the two parties are colluding to form government in the state, cutting out the party that has got the popular vote.  The TVK, which won 108 seats -- two of them by Vijay -- has 107 MLAs and argues that as the single-largest party, it should be invited by the Governor to form government.  But earlier today, Governor RV Arlekar refused to allow Vijay to stake claim, saying he does not have the numbers. He also did not accept the plan Vijay had presented to reach the majority mark. Sources said the meet - the second in two days - ended with the Governor insisting that the actor-politi...

https://ift.tt/6q8sraY Congress leader Cherian Philip has come under severe criticism on social media after people pointed out what they called the Kerala leader's inappropriate behaviour while greeting Bindu Krishna, the newly elected MLA from Kerala's Kollam. A video of Philip welcoming Krishna at the Congress headquarters in Thiruvananthapuram is being shared widely by social media users and political leaders cutting across party lines, many of whom pointed out what Philip did even after seeing what they called Krishna's apparent reluctance and discomfort.

"What this guy is doing, is he really sick? The lady is Keralam's Congress leader Smt. Bindhu Krishna, who won the Assembly election in Kollam. Other Congress leaders are also visible in the situation," Akhil B Nair, an X user, said. Sa...
