February 18.
Amid
absolute ruckus in the Assembly, All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam
(AIADMK) leader Edappadi K Palaniswami won the confidence motion, ending a
10-day political uncertainty in Tamil Nadu which had begun with caretaker CM O
Panneerselvam's revolt against the AIADMK general secretary.
Backed
by party chief V K Sasikala, he was supported by 122 members of the Legislative
Assembly (MLAs).
PM Modi
in a telephonic conversation had congratulated Palaniswami on taking over as
Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
"Spoke to Thiru Edappadi K. Palaniswami
& congratulated him on taking over as the Chief Minister of Tamil
Nadu," Modi tweeted.
