CHENNAI: AIADMK led by Edappadi K Palaniswami was ready to extend unconditional support to TVK to help it form the govt, and discussions were underway between the two sides. However, after prolonged silence from the TVK camp since Wednesday noon, the party decided to withdraw the offer, multiple sources told TOI. AIADMK leaders also dismissed any possibility of an alliance with DMK. Sources said communication between AIADMK and TVK began early Tuesday, with senior leaders discussing a possible post-poll arrangement as Vijay fell short of a majority. “We offered unconditional support for a stable govt. For us, anything was negotiable, provided there was mutual respect. However, there has been no response from TVK since Wednesday noon,” said a senior ADMK member.
