Chennai: VCK general secretary D Ravikumar on Friday objected to the idea of appointing the breakaway AIADMK legislators as ministers in the Vijay-led TVK cabinet and said the issue raised serious questions of political morality and ethical propriety.
He contended that Edappadi K Palaniswami, as general secretary of AIADMK, possessed authority to appoint the party Whip and the latter's instruction was binding upon the party's MLAs.
Consequently, the 25 MLAs who voted in favour of the government, contrary to the party's direction, were liable to face disqualification proceedings under the Tenth Schedule, the VCK MP said on 'X.'
