All 107 TVK MLAs To Resign If DMK, AIADMK Try To Form Government: Sources

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-politician provide letters of support from 118 legislators.

A communique from Raj Bhavan said the Governor "explained that the requisite majority support in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly, essential for forming the Government, has not been established". 

The TVK needs 10 more seats to hit the majority mark and already has the support of Congress, which has five MLAs. Talks are on with the Left and a few smaller parties for the balance of seats.

Is DMK Planning An Alternate Government

The DMK held a meeting earlier today, where it passed four resolutions, one of them authorising party chief MK Stalin to take "emergency decisions". Regarding the resolution, the DMK said, "Our primary aim is to avert another election, to have a stable government and not give room to communal forces". 

Calling the lack of majority a "complicated crisis", the DMK has asked all its MLAs to remain in Chennai.

Sarfaraz "Not Even Being Allowed To Fail": Questions Raised On Selectors

-
https://ift.tt/gjQfS59 Sarfaraz Khan 's long absence from the Indian Test team has raised quite a few eyebrows. Several former players feel that the Mumbai batter, who has not played a Test since November 2024, deserves a chance in the squad. Former India player Aakash Chopra believes Sarfaraz has fallen victim to a perception battle. The 28-year-old has so far played six Tests, scoring 371 runs at an average of 37.10. He has three fifties and one century to his name. "I think there is a clarity issue in the case of Sarfaraz. I think it is a case of perception and understanding. I am trying to think-they might have a perception that he may not do as well in swinging conditions or play fast bowling well. Maybe he is not our guy in SENA countries. So he did not get the chance. But even to make that perception, I have to allow him to fail. He is not even being allowed to fail. And now there is no place in the team as well," Chopra said on Shubhankar Mishra's YouTube ch...

Wild Elephant Rips Off Camera After Spotting It, Forest Officer Shares Video

-
https://ift.tt/kE6JKcG Elephants are one of the most social and intelligent animals on the planet, known for their strong awareness of surroundings and protective herd dynamics. A recent video circulating on social media highlighted this intelligence, where an elephant expressed its clear displeasure when its personal space was intruded upon by humans and their recording devices. The 28-second video shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Parveen Kaswan shows a wild elephant charging towards the camera and clattering into it after spotting the device from afar. After the camera falls on the ground, the elephant calmly walks away from the spot, having completed its objective. "Privacy is important !! The moment this elephant noticed something unnatural setup (a camera) it decided to remove it. How intelligent," wrote Kaswan on X (formerly Twitter). "IR and White Flash cameras are installed in park for population and habitat study. Currently, 210 such cameras are...
