VCK General Secretary D. Ravikumar has opposed the inclusion of rebel AIADMK MLAs into Vijay's TVK cabinet, citing concerns over political morality and constitutional ethics. During a confidence motion on May 13, 25 AIADMK MLAs voted in favor of the TVK government, helping it surpass the magic number of 118 with a total of 144 votes. Ravikumar argued that these MLAs face disqualification under the Tenth Schedule for defying the party whip and suggested they should resign and seek a fresh mandate through by-elections before taking ministerial roles. https://www.kannadaprabha.com/nation/2026/May/15/vck-opposes-appointment-of-rebel-aiadmk-mlas-as-ministers-in-tvk-cabinet-led-by-vijay #creator program
