CHENNAI: On Wednesday, the Madras High Court lifted the stay on the Election Commission’s investigation into the internal disputes of the AIADMK, including issues related to leadership and the party’s symbol. This decision is viewed as a setback for the party’s current leader, Edappadi K Palaniswami.
Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar defended Chief Minister Siddaramaiah against allegations following the High Court’s approval for an investigation into a site allotment case. He accused the BJP of orchestrating a political conspiracy and asserted that Siddaramaiah is innocent. The state government plans to appeal the High Court’s ruling.
