AIADMK MLAs Return After Pondy Resort Stay, Meet Party Chief

More than 30 party legislators were asked to stay at the resort in the neighbouring union territory to allegedly prevent them from "cross-voting or defections

Chennai: After three days' stay at a Puducherry resort, AIADMK MLAs came to meet their party's general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami at his residence here on Saturday. More than 30 party legislators were asked to stay at the resort in the neighbouring union territory to allegedly prevent them from "cross-voting or defections," as Vijay-led TVK is busy shoring up numbers to form government after emerging as the single largest party in the April 23 Assembly polls in Tamil Nadu.

AIADMK sources here said that Palaniswami will chair a legislators' meeting to discuss the party's next move amid political uncertainty in forming the new government.

Senior AIADMK leaders including C Vijayabaskar, K P Anbalagan and B Valarmathi among others arrived at Palaniswami's city residence.

AIADMK sources further added that the meeting will also discuss about ally AMMK's charges against TVK about using a "forged" support letter to stake claim for government formation.
