The AIADMK on Friday, termed as routine, the meeting between its general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami and BJP leader and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, in New Delhi, on Thursday, September 14, 2023.
“When the Lok Sabha election is due in eight to nine months, it is a long-standing practice for the leader of one party to call on the leader of an ally. This is how the meeting should be seen,” the party’s organisation secretary and former Fisheries Minister D. Jayakumar said, adding that the BJP was part of the AIADMK-led front in T.N.
Asked whether the issue of seat-sharing came up during the meeting, Mr. Jayakumar replied this would be discussed only by committees set up by their respective parties for this purpose when the election was approaching.
