A petition was filed in the Supreme Court on Wednesday alleging corruption in winning the trust vote by Tamil Nadu Assembly chief Vijay Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) and requesting a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) investigation into the matter.
Chief Minister Vijay secured 144 votes during the voting on the confidence motion in the Assembly on May 13, while 22 votes were cast against him.
Madurai resident KK Ramesh has alleged in the petition that the voting on the trust vote in the Tamil Nadu Assembly was not conducted according to democratic principles. He claimed that TVK won 108 seats, but obtained signatures of 12 MLAs from different parties overnight.
The petition has also requested that President’s rule be imposed in Tamil Nadu until the investigation is completed.

It said, “Some MLAs from other parties in the Tamil Nadu Assembly were allegedly involved in horse trading. TVK had given huge amount of money to some MLAs. There are allegations that bargains were struck and huge sums of money were distributed to them”.
The petition states, “Therefore, the Assembly should be dissolved and the matter should be handed over to the CBI for a thorough investigation.” Until the CBI investigation is completed, President’s rule should be imposed in Tamil Nadu.
