The AIADMK factions reconciled after about two weeks of division, with rebel MLAs led by S P Velumani meeting party chief Edappadi K Palaniswami and expressing support. Despite the absence of C Ve Shanmugam at the meeting, Velumani stated he was aligned with them. Both factions withdrew disqualification petitions filed against each other with Assembly Speaker J C D Prabhakar, who will announce his decision soon. Velumani denied any split, describing the situation as a difference of opinion within the party.
