State Minister Kadambur Rajusaid that both Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami and OPS have spoken to Modi and soon AIADMK will get its berth in the Cabinet. Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president K S Alagiri has said the BJP-led Central government’s decision not to give any representation to Tamil Nadu in the Union Cabinet was made with an ulterior motive as the State had voted against the NDA.
In a statement, Alagiri said though the AIADMK won only one seat in the Lok Sabha, they had 13 MPs in the Rajya Sabha.
