VCK general secretary D Ravikumar has urged Tamil Chief Minister Vijay’s TVK government to avoid appointing breakaway AIADMK MLAs as ministers. After 25 rebel MLAs backed the TVK during a recent trust vote, Ravikumar warned that defying the AIADMK whip could invite disqualification under the Tenth Schedule, even if there is no immediate constitutional bar on minister appointments. He also questioned whether the public would accept such defections and re-elect those lawmakers under a different banner.

Candidates must report with a valid admit card and ID for entry, expect extensive frisking, and note that special approvals may be required for medical conditions.
