DMK should ask Speaker for TN floor test, Rajnath tells AIADMK team

August 30, 2017 13:52

Home Minister Rajnath Singh does not want the Tamil Nadu government to undergo a floor test in the assembly to prove its majority.

The reason being that when the two factions of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam have merged, it is for the opposition to approach the TN speaker to move a no-confidence against the Edappadi K Palaniswami government.

Instead of meeting the governor and President of India, the DMK as the principal opposition party should ask the Tamil Nadu speaker to convene the assembly for moving the no-trust against the EPS government.

This was the clear signal that emanated from Home Minister Rajnath Singh when he met an AIADMK delegation on Wednesday morning. Interestingly, Deputy Speaker of the Lok Sabha M Thambidurai was also present during the AIADMK leaders' meeting with Singh.

On Tuesday, the AIADMK delegation met Union ministers Arun Jaitley and Nirmala Sitharaman to brief them about the smooth merger of the two AIADMK factions.
