Days after the AIADMK snapped ties with the BJP and withdrew from the BJP-led NDA, three of its MLAs shared the dais with Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman at an official function in Coimbatore on Tuesday, October 3, 2023. The MLAs were invited to the function as per protocol.
Pollachi MLA V. Jayaraman, Valparai MLA Amul Kandasami, and Mettupalayam MLA A.K. Selvaraj met the Minister on Tuesday morning and also shared the dais with her at a credit outreach programme.
The Finance Minister’s office posted on X (earlier Twitter) that the MLAs met her before the commencement of the programme.
