Chennai sources have reported that Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has sought a meeting with President Ram Nath Kovind on 31 August to press for an immediate floor test in the Tamilnadu Assembly so that the Edappadi Palaniswami government can be asked to prove its majority.
Meanwhile when disclosing this to media, DMK Working President MK Stalin said at the party headquarters in Chennai on Tuesday that MPs belonging to the DMK, Congress, Left parties and Muslim League would be part of the delegation to meet Mr. Kovind. Meanwhile he said he was hopeful that time would be granted for the meeting with the President in Delhi.
Furthermore a DMK delegation on Sunday had met
Tamilnadu Governor Mr. C Vidyasagar Rao and put forward the demand that the
Assembly should be immediately convened and the Chief Minister directed to face
a floor test because the government has been "reduced" to a minority
with 22 MLAs owing allegiance to the TTV Dhinakaran faction.
