Senthil Balaji's removal as a minister: Following V. Senthil Balaji's arrest by the ED in June 2023 amid criminal proceedings in an alleged cash-for-jobs scandal, Tamil Nadu Governor R. N. Ravi dismissed Senthil Balaji from the Council of Ministers with immediate effect; however, Chief Minister Stalin later retained him as a minister without portfolio, lashing out at the Governor, saying he does not have the right to dismiss the minister and that his government will proceed legally in the matter. |
