Chennai, May 5 (PTI) AIADMK MLA-elect Leemarose Martin on Tuesday claimed that the party’s general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami was in talks to provide support to TVK led by actor-turned politician Vijay to form a stable government.

The talks are going between the two leaders, she further claimed, while speaking to reporters at Lalgudi.

Leemarose is the wife of “lottery baron” Santiago Martin and won a closely contested race in the Lalgudi assembly constituency in Tiruchi district. Her son-in-law, Aadhav Arjuna, representing TVK, won from the Villivakkam assembly constituency in Chennai.

However, the TVK requires the support of an additional 12 members to demonstrate its majority. The party is in talks with many parties in the state, including the Congress. PTI SNR SNR KH
