"Let even children see, hear and learn what is happening in the assembly in #TN. Make them understand. Shameful days for democracy!," he said in another tweet.

Finallt, the Speaker declared Palaniswami has won the motion with 122 votes.

"There you go.  Seems like we have another CM. Jai de-mockcrazy," tweeted Hasaan.
