Sengottaiyan denies horse-trading allegations as 4 AIADMK leaders join TVK

Horse trading at horse speed: DMK chief Stalin on AIADMK MLAs joining TVK

DMK president M.K. Stalin accused Tamil Nadu's ruling TVK party of engineering the defection of three AIADMK MLAs, who resigned and immediately joined TVK at the Secretariat — labelling it "horse trading at horse speed." The episode signals accelerating political fragmentation in Tamil Nadu, with opposition alliances and coalition arithmetic shifting rapidly ahead of any future electoral realignment in the state.
