TVK minister-designate skips oath after forgetting key MLA certificate at Tamil Nadu Assembly

Her swearing-in was deferred over one missing document

TVK leader Selvi S. Keerthana, elected MLA from Sivakasi and appointed minister-designate, reached the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly intending to take the oath. But she realized she hadn’t brought her MLA election victory certificate, required by the Pro-Tem Speaker for formal swearing-in. Her swearing-in was deferred as a result, delaying her start in the proceedings.
