Besides Vijila Sathyanath, former leaders of Makkal Needhi Maiam R Mahendran and Padma Priya had also joined the DMK.

The visuals of his action had gone viral on social media with several users castigating the minister for exercising more advantage with the people through his power. 

Sivasankar had promised to meet their demands and he went on to win the constituency and became the first-time minister in the state with the portfolio of Backward Classes Welfare. 

Senguttuvan had served as the minister for Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment and animal husbandry in the DMK government under the then Chief Minister Karunanidhi from 1996 to 2001.

On the other hand, the ADMK would pile up its troubles from addressing Sasikala's political comeback and accommodating the allied parties. 

The minister, who was with ADMK previously, said that the ADMK government didn't carry out essential and adequate maintenance work for nine months. 

The applications were majorly from the people who hadn't won the ticket in the state assembly polls and people who had contested and lost in the assembly polls. 

With the dissent, he has decided to quit the party and join DMK and his entry would be crucial for DMK to establish the party's stronghold in the Kongu belt which is ADMK's citadel.

The session has begun with the Governor's customary speech during which the head of the state had emphasized state autonomy and federalism.

Senthil Balaji's remarks had served as a treat for the trollers as the social media pages seen a barrage of trolls and memes against the minister for saying that squirrels had caused power outages.
