In an exclusive interview with India Today, senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi said that TVK chief Vijay should have been called by the Governor and given about a week’s time to prove his majority on the floor of the House. He added, “The Constitution requires the litmus test on the floor of the House. It is not on the floor of Raj Bhavan.”
Earlier in the day, according to sources, the Governor told Vijay that TVK still fell short of the required numbers and asked him to come back with signatures of 118 MLAs before any swearing-in process could take place.
