Tamil Nadu politics is going through a major shift. For decades, the DMK and AIADMK dominated the state’s political landscape. But Vijay’s entry through TVK is beginning to disrupt that balance. As AIADMK MLAs resign and move toward TVK, conversations around “horse trading” have entered Tamil Nadu politics in a big way. But what exactly is horse trading? How do political defections work in India? And why does every party desperately want MLAs? In this episode of Let Me Explain, Pooja Prasanna breaks down the history of political defections in India, the Anti-Defection Law, Karnataka’s Operation Kamala and why Tamil Nadu may be entering a completely new political phase.
