Chennai sources added that as Andhra Pradesh's ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) on Friday pulled out of the BJP led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and was set to move a no-confidence motion against the government, Tamilnadu's AIADMK said it was yet to decide on its move. Accordingly with the third largest number of members (37) in the Lok Sabha after the BJP and Congress, the AIADMK was undecided whether to support or oppose the motion, said a senior party leader.
Previously the BJP and PMK have one seat each in Lok Sabha from Tamilnadu. Accordingly the leader said the possibility of the BJP government defeating the no-confidence motion is relatively high with the support from smaller parties. He said "We expect the no-confidence motion to be moved by the Congress".
Further the no-trust move could become an opportune moment for the AIADMK to pressurize the Centre to set up the Cauvery Management Board (CMB) and Cauvery Water Regulatory Committee (CWRC). Moreover the Tamilnadu Assembly passed a unanimous resolution demanding the central government to set up the CMB and CWRC as per the Supreme Court order.
