A delegation of AIADMK leaders, comprising former Ministers, met BJP president J.P. Nadda and Union Minister for Food and Public Distribution Piyush Goyal in New Delhi on Friday.
AIADMK leaders including S.P. Velumani, P. Thangamani, C.Ve. Shanmugam and Natham R. Viswanathan were part of the delegation. Former Minister K.P. Munusamy, who too is said to be a member of the delegation, however, told The Hindu from New Delhi that he was there for a “private purpose.”
The meeting assumes significance in the light of the AIADMK “calling off” ties with the BJP following the observations made by the national party’s State president K. Annamalai on former Chief Minister C.N. Annadurai and the subsequent conciliatory statements from either side.
