Announcing his decision, the Speaker said he had received four letters from Palaniswami condoning the actions of the 21 MLAs who voted contrary to the party's directive during the vote of the C. Joseph Vijay-led government.
)
A possible breakthrough has emerged in the ongoing internal conflict within the AIADMK, with signs pointing toward reconciliation.
)
The AIADMK leader also questioned the acceptance of resignations submitted by three MLAs while disqualification proceedings were still pending.
)
The resignations bring the number of vacant Assembly constituencies in Tamil Nadu to four, with Chief Minister Joseph Vijay having already vacated the Tiruchy East seat.

The rebellion, led by SP Velumani and CV Shanmugam, left Palaniswami with the backing of just 17 legislators against the 30 who walked away. The Speaker has since allotted Palaniswami and Velumani separate seats in the front row of the assembly, a physical arrangement that says everything about where things now stand.
