The BJP has hit out at DMK for extending moral support to an opposition-backed no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government, and said people will at no point trust the Dravidian party and the Congress.

As superstar Rajinikanth addressed fans on Friday, the last day of his week-long meet-and greet, he made a speech worthy of a political campaign. It was also his most unambiguous signal yet that he is considering a political career. In Tamil Nadu.

Tamil Nadu BJP today said Governor CH Vidyasagar Rao should order a probe into O Panneerselvam's allegation that he was forced to resign even as it questioned the "necessity" of keeping AIADMK MLAs supporting V K Sasikala in "one particular place".

O Panneerselvam, who has staged a dramatic rebellion against AIADMK chief VK Sasikala, has asserted that he is acting alone and "not at the behest of the BJP."
