AIADMK says its leaders will decide on no-confidence motion against NDA

Chennai: The AIADMK on Friday said its top leadership will decide on the party’s stand on the no-confidence motion moved against the Narendra Modi government by the Telugu Desam Party (TDP).

Senior AIADMK leader D Jayakumar indicated that party coordinator O Panneerselvam and co-coordinator K Palaniswami will decide on the matter.

The decision will be made when the no-confidence motion is taken up in Parliament, an official spokesperson said.

“The party leadership will decide whether to support or



not (the no-confidence motion),” Jayakumar, the State Fisheries Minister, told reporters here.

The TDP on Friday decided to quit the NDA, days after two of its ministers resigned from the Modi government following the Centre’s refusal to grant Special Category Status to Andhra Pradesh, where the party is in power.

Senior AIADMK leader and party spokesperson Vaigaichelvan, said Chief Minister Palaniswami and his deputy Panneerselvam, will decide on the AIADMK’s stand on the no-confidence motion when it is taken up in the House.
