Vijay's party MLA brings baby to assembly session, slams criticism: 'Can't leave newborn at home'
Several photos of the TVK MLA have surfaced at the state assembly with her newborn baby as she attends the ongoing session.
First-time MLA from Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, MR Pallavi, sparked controversy after bringing her newborn baby to the ongoing assembly session in Tamil Nadu. Photos of the TVK MLA with her newborn circulated, with her baby being cared for at a nearby room during the proceedings. The caregiver looked after the child until she returned to the assembly hall.
Chief Minister Vijay even blessed the baby at the premises. However, some criticized the gesture as creating a scene, to which Pallavi defended herself, stating that the criticism was unfair and that leaving the newborn at home would be unfair. The assembly session began on August 5, 2026 and is expected to end on September 8, 2026, with a focus on the state budget, legislative matters, and welfare schemes.
