It was a day of mixed fortunes for M K Stalin who sought to bring back the spotlight on DMK as Tamil Nadu's
principal opposition party even as the focus for the last few days was
on the battle between AIADMK general secretary Sasikala and rebel OPS.
DMK smelt an opportunity and wanted to push TN to an immediate election to cash in on the anti-Sasikala sentiment sweeping the state. However, DMK lost the plot in the assembly by unleashing violence, totally unprovoked, when the Speaker refused to heed Stalin's pleas for secret ballot to decide the fate of Palaniswami's government.
The efforts of the DMK members to engage the AIADMK MLAs belonging to the Sasikala faction went in vain as they remained immobile as stone, choosing to be mere spectators. Eventually, as the Speaker ordered the en masse eviction of its MLAs, DMK lost its opportunity. After being evicted from the House, Stalin rushed to the Raj Bhavan and presented a memorandum to governor C Vidyasagar Rao. By evening, he had mobilised DMK cadres and sat on hunger strike on the Marina. Stalin and his men were arrested from the spot and released at 9.45pm.
