'Wants to work like a family': TVK pitches for unity amid tensions in alliance over AIADMK rebels

New Delhi: Tamil Nadu minister Adhav Arjun on Wednesday said Chief Minister Vijay wants his cabinet to “work like a family” as cracks appear in the alliance over the possibility of including rebel AIADMK MLAs in the government.Speaking to reporters, Arjun said that Vijay wanted the parties supporting the government to get representation in the cabinet.“The CM wants the cabinet to work like a family. He wants the supporting parties to get representation in the cabinet. The DMK and AIADMK attempted to form an alliance which went against the people’s decision,” the minister said.Read this also ‘I think they will not go to that extent’: Shanmugam warns CPM to reconsider support if TVC inducts AIADMK rebels into cabinet.“During the elections, DMK said that AIADMK is under the control of BJP, but later it forgot its ideology and negotiated an alliance with AIADMK. Congress and Left parties united on one front to protect the constitutional system. We will travel together with AIADMK in the spirit of friendship.The comments come a day after CPM said it would reconsider its support to the Vijay-led government if it accommodates the rebel AIADMK faction in the cabinet.Read this also 2 Congress MLAs will join Vijay government, currently no AIADMK rebelAddressing a press conference, CPM leader Shanmugam said the basis for supporting the TVK was to stop the imposition of President’s rule and prevent “backdoor entry into BJP rule”.Shanmugam said the purpose of this arrangement is to ensure governance by a party elected by the people. However, he said the inclusion of rebel AIADMK members in the Council of Ministers would be against the party’s stand on mandate and clean governance.He said, “No party got the majority and TVK emerged as the largest party, and hence only they had the scope to form the government. With the idea of ​​facilitating governance by a party elected by the people, the Left parties and the VCK extended outside support to the TVK, enabling it to form the government.”“I think the TVK will not go to that extent (of including the AIADMK rebel group in the cabinet). In case the TVK takes such a stand, the CPI(M) will reconsider its support to the TVK,” he said.TVK had passed the floor test in the Assembly on May 13 with the support of AIADMK rebels, expelled AMMK MLA Kamaraj, Left parties, VCK and IUML.
