Another setback for AIADMK as M.R. Vijayabhaskar resigns as MLA in Tamil Nadu

The AIADMK has faced another setback with the resignation of M.R. Vijayabhaskar, who was the MLA for the Karur constituency. Vijayabhaskar submitted his resignation as a Member of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly on Monday, June 29, 2026. This development comes after multiple AIADMK MLAs resigned in the months following the 2026 Tamil Nadu elections. The series of resignations has posed a significant challenge to the party. The AIADMK has been dealing with the aftermath of the elections, and these resignations have further added to the party's woes. The resignation of Vijayabhaskar is the latest in a string of departures that have affected the party's strength in the assembly. The party is likely to face difficulties in the wake of these resignations, which may impact its ability to function effectively in the state legislature. The Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly has witnessed a significant number of resignations from AIADMK MLAs, leading to a considerable reduction in the party's representation. The AIADMK will need to regroup and reassess its strategy to address the challenges posed by these resignations. The party's leadership will have to work towards rebuilding and strengthening its presence in the state.
