Ambasamudram MLA Esakki Subaya met Speaker JCD Prabhakar and submitted his resignation letter, shortly after AIADMK chief Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS)-led faction called on the latter with a plea to not to accept the resignation of its three legislators who had stepped down on May 25.

Subaya is the fourth MLA from the rebel C Ve Shanmugam-SP Velumani camp to have quit and said he did so in the interest of his constituency people.
