Chennai, March 29 (IANS) Tamil Nadu's ruling AIADMK is not only attracting the legislators of DMDK floated by actor-turned politician A.Vijaykant but has now drawn his own brother A.Palraj into its ranks.
In a statement issued here Saturday, the AIADMK said Palraj and his wife Venkatalakshmi met the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J.Jayalalithaa, who is also the party chief, in Madurai Friday and joined the party.
