AIADMK shuts door on TVK after poor response to its unconditional support in Tamil Nadu

AIADMK withdrew its unconditional support offer to TVK for government formation after prolonged silence from the latter. Discussions had begun Tuesday, but TVK's unresponsiveness, especially after Congress offered conditional backing, led to the talks' abrupt end. AIADMK leaders dismissed any alliance with DMK, awaiting decisions from VCK, CPI, and CPM.
