The entire opposition started protesting. What is the Constitution Bill? If any CM or Prime Minister goes to jail, they will have to resign from their post. The opposition is asking, What is the need for this bill?&#8221; he said as quoted by news agency ANI.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">Citing the case against DMK leader and former Minister K Ponmudy and the recent one of V Senthil Balaji who continued as a minister when he was in jail in connection with an ED case, Shah asked if it was appropriate to be part of the Cabinet and govern despite being jailed.<\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">\u201cSenior DMK ministers K Ponmudy and Senthil Balaji were in jail for eight months. They did not resign. Tell me, can you run the government while being in jail? These DMK people call the 130th Constitutional Amendment Bill a black bill. Stalin Babu, you have no right to call this bill a black bill because you are a Chief Minister who does black deeds\u2026&#8221; Shah added.<\/p>\n<h3>BJP-AIADMK Alliance<\/h3>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\">After two years, the BJP and the AIADMK have formed an alliance again to contest the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections scheduled for next year.<\/p>\n<p id=\"12\" class=\"story_para_12\">The BJP and AIADMK contested together in the 2021 Tamil Nadu elections when Palaniswami was the Chief Minister. However, the NDA lost the elections to DMK and its alliance partners, only managing to win 75 seats out of 234 constituencies. The AIADMK won 66 seats, while the BJP managed only four seats.<\/p>\n<p id=\"13\" class=\"story_para_13\">The two parties went solo in the Lok Sabha and failed to win a single seat in Tamil Nadu. However, the BJP\u2019s vote share in the state increased significantly under K Annamalai\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n<p id=\"14\" class=\"story_para_14\"><em>(With inputs from agencies)<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Untitled-design-2025-06-421898aac7df12606d3395094d8b8840.png?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/shobhit-gupta-28018.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Shobhit Gupta<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Shobhit Gupta is a sub-editor at News18.com and covers India and International news.
