AIADMK MLAs Return from Resort Stay to Meet Party Chief Amid Government Formation Talks

After spending three days at a Puducherry resort to reportedly prevent defections, over 30 AIADMK MLAs met party general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami in Chennai. Palaniswami is set to chair a legislators' meeting to decide the party's next steps amid uncertainty in forming the Tamil Nadu government following the April 23 Assembly polls. The meeting will also address ally AMMK's allegations that TVK used a forged support letter to claim government formation.
