AIADMK chief Palaniswami removes 25 MLAs for backing Tamil Nadu CM Vijay in floor test

AIADMK chief Edappadi K Palaniswami removes 25 party leaders from their posts after they defied the party's diktat and backed Tamil Nadu CM Vijay in the floor test. The removed leaders include AIADMK leaders SP Velumani and C V Shanmugam. Palaniswami replaced them with new district secretaries, appointing them to party posts. This move comes after the rebel AIADMK MLAs voted in favour of the TVK government during the confidence motion in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly.
