After Vijay's TVK formed the government in Tamil Nadu with support of 144 MLAs, which includes Congress, CPI(M), CPI and AIADMK, CPI(M) state secretary P Shanmugam said the party may reconsider its backing if AIADMK or its faction joins the cabinet. He said people voted against AIADMK, and "it'll be against the mandate to run the Government with their support".
