Notes
[edit]- ^ The 2021 judgement by Honourable Supreme court of India sealed the fate of sealed the fate of Narayasamy's government.[6] He lost the trust vote as the nominated MLAs voted against him. With resignations of 6 MLAs (five from Congress and one from DMK), from 33 the house strength dwindled to 26. The Narayansamy-led UPA government consisting of Congress (9 with speaker), DMK (2) and an independent (1) had strength 12. The opposition strength 14 MLAs which consisted of AINRC (7), AIADMK (4) and the three nominated members affiliated to BJP. As per the judgement, counting the strength of nominated MLAs, the opposition outnumbered the government in strength and the government fell out subsequently and the president rule was imposed.[7]
