Aiadmk Legislators

AIADMK legislators staged a walkout from the Tamil Nadu Assembly in protest over the Kallakurichi hooch tragedy.

All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) Coordinator O Panneerselvam has been elected as Deputy Leader of the legislature party of the AIADMK in the Tamil Nadu Assembly.

The BJP on Monday promised revival of the legislative council in Tamil Nadu, which was abolished decades ago by its ally, the ruling AIADMK, if their combine was voted to power in the coming assembly elections.

The ruling AIADMK on Friday expelled its Perundurai legislator and former minister "Thoppu" N D Venkatachalam from the party for filing his nomination from the segment after being denied a ticket to contest the April 6 Assembly polls.

Minutes before the Election Commission announced the poll schedule for five states, including Tamil Nadu, yesterday, the state Assembly cleared 10.5% reservation for the Vanniyar community in educational institutions and in the appointment of posts in government services. What was not reported then is that the ruling All India Anna Dravida Munnetra...

It may not be VK Sasikala that Tamil Nadu's ruling AIADMK is targeting. Aside of a few utterances against the former party chief following her release from jail a few days, her protege-turned-baiters and former party functionaries have largely maintained a studied silence. Yet, it is also increasingly apparent that her nephew and independent legisl...

Farm loans taken by over 16 lakh farmers in Tamil Nadu will be waived, said the AIADMK government in the state where election to the legislative assembly will be held this year. The total amount to be waived is Rs 12,110 crore for farm loans taken from cooperative banks, Chief Minister E Palaniswami told the assembly today.

The Supreme Court on Monday stayed disqualification proceedings against two AIADMK legislators, who were served notice by the Tamil Nadu Assembly Speaker for allegedly indulging in "anti-party" activities

Legislators belonging to the opposition AIADMK Tuesday broke helmets on the premises of the Assembly to protest against the rule making wearing of the headgear mandatory without creating awareness on its use.

Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan today suspended 26 AIADMK legislators for the next five sittings after they created a ruckus in the house over the Cauvery issue, frequently interrupting a heated debate on the Rafale fighter jet deal.

Addressing a parliamentary session held to decide on the Triple Talaq law, Union Minister Smriti Irani today wondered why there was so much opposition to curbing the controversial Islamic practice of instant divorce when the house has enacted similar legislations on dowry and sati in the past.

Raucous opposition protests over Rafale deal and other issues forced adjournment in both houses of parliament for the fifth consecutive day without any business being conducted. The day started on a stormy note as the government and opposition sparred over Rafale and the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. Tamil Nadu's ruling AIADMK and the opposition DMK protes...

The 18 disqualified AIADMK legislators will not appeal against the Madras High Court's order upholding Tamil Nadu Speaker P Dhanapal's order disqualifying them, said their camp leader TTV Dhinakaran.

After the disqualification of 18 AIADMK legislators, their rooms at the lawmakers' Hostel in Chennai have been sealed and the individuals have been asked to settle pending dues. A notice from Assembly Secretary K Srinivasan put up on their rooms also asks them to take their belongings in the presence of an Under Secretary (Hostel Administration) af...

The ruling AIADMK said 18 disqualified legislators can re-join the party on one condition -- they must "kneel" and "apologise" at the memorial of late Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa. The 18 legislators were disqualified after they sided with rebel AIADMK leader TTV Dhinakaran, following a power tussle within the party after death of the f...
