Tamil Nadu Assembly session begins, Dinakaran makes his debut

Chennai, Jan 8 (IBNS): Sidelined AIADMK leader and newly elected RK Nagar MLA, TTV Dinakaran, made his debut in the Tamil Nadu Assembly as its session began on Monday, media reports said.

Dinakaran, who fought as an independent from RK Nagar constituency, defeated his own party AIADMK's and opposition DMK's candidates.

RK Nagar constituency had fallen vacant after the demise of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa.

The first day of the Assembly witnessed an uproar as DMK leader M K Stalin protested against former Governor C Vidyasagar Rao's role in forming of the government by the AIADMK despite losing supports of 18 MLAs.

Though Chief Minister E Palaniswamy formed the government, 18 AIADMK MLAs had supported the Sasikala camp, the former interim AIADMK General Secretary, who is now serving a jail term in a disproportionate assets case.

Sasikala, before being convicted, had expressed her ambition to become the CM of the state. She was the confidante of Jayalalithaa.

The DMK along with Congress even walked out of the Assembly protesting against the former Tamil Nadu Governor, NDTV reported.
