A Dinamalar TV political video discusses a proposed constitutional amendment bill that seeks to lay down clearer legal provisions for removing a Prime Minister or a Chief Minister from office.
The report points to the current framework under the Representation of the People Act. Under existing rules, an MP or MLA loses their position only if they are convicted and sentenced to at least two years in prison.
It also notes that arrest and being held in court custody as an undertrial does not, by itself, lead to loss of office under the present law.
The video frames the debate around when elected representatives at the highest executive level can be legally disqualified, and what changes a constitutional amendment could bring.
The segment was published on July 12, 2026, under the politics category on Dinamalar TV.
