CHENNAI, May 13: The four-day old TVK Government in Tamil Nadu crossed a major hurdle on Wednesday, winning a confidence-boosting trust vote by a 144:22 margin amid a walkout by the principal opposition party DMK and a divided AIADMK whose one faction supported the C Joseph Vijay-led government.
In the 234-member House, 118 is the simple majority mark. AIADMK MLAs backing Chief Edappadi K Palaniswami voted against the Government.
