AIADMK member Dhanapal has officially requested a CBI inquiry into the resignation of four party MLAs who promptly shifted their allegiance to the ruling party, TVK. His concern highlights potential monetary incentives involved in their decision, raising questions of ethics and legality.

The request follows a day after efforts to unify AIADMK's factions under General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami. Critics, including CPI(M) and VCK, have denounced the actions as unhealthy political practices. The legality under the Anti-Defection Law remains contentious, with calls for further examination of the circumstances surrounding this political maneuver.
