Speaking in TN Assembly during TVK government’s floor test, AIADMK's Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS) alleged AIADMK MLAs were approached with cash to support TVK. "There have been horse-trading attempts...Some might get ministerial births and take part in ruling government," he said. Rebel AIADMK MLA SP Velumani dismissed claims and asserted that support for TVK government reflected people's verdict.
