Two ministers in the Tamil Nadu assembly who are very close to the New Delhi leadership called up two senior union ministers and thanked them for the legal guidance that led to the victory of the  AIADMK in the Madras High Court today.

The Madras High Court today dismissed a petition by DMK seeking the disqualification of Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam and 10 other AIADMK MLAs for having voted against the Palaniswami government last year.
