Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and TVK chief Vijay has called an alliance meeting on Wednesday and is preparing to bring together 'friendly forces' and like-minded partners as part of a broader consolidation exercise. Congress, VCK, MDMK, and IUML have been invited to the meeting. AIADMK MLAs, MR Vijay Bhaskar and C Vijay Bhaskar, have resigned from the party and are poised to join Chief Minister Vijay's government, delivering another blow to Edappadi K Palaniswami.
