One Palaniswami-camp MLA Arun Kumar boycotts floor test

Tamil Nadu is facing its first floor test in 30 years. After non-stop frenzy since O. Panneerselvam’s Marina revolt, the scene has now shifted to the Assembly whereEdappadi K. Palaniswami is seeking a trust vote. The lone IUML member has decided to oppose the motion.

Nonetheless, the AIADMK whip S. Rajendiran issued a directive to all party MLAs to attend the Assembly and vote in favour of the motion.
The need for moving a confidence motion arose after a group of MLAs declared support to Mr. Panneerselvam, who now heads the rebel AIADMK.
