The 19 AIADMK MLAs owing allegiance to the ousted AIADMK deputy General Secretary T.T.V. Dhinakaran were on Friday moved to The Sunway Manor hotel in Puducherry. The Tamil Nadu MLAs were staying in Windflower Resort and Spa since August 22, 2017.

Karnataka AIADMK spokesperson V.Pugazhendi told The Hindu that the MLAs will continue to stay in Puducherry till Tamil Nadu Governor Ch.Vidyasagar Rao takes a decision. He added that the Governor has the powers to keep the Assembly under suspended animation.

The 19 MLAs had on August 22, 2017 submitted letters to Governor Ch.Vidyasagar Rao at Raj Bhavan, expressing lack of confidence in Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami and withdrawing support to him.
