According to sources, communications between the AIADMK and TVK began early Tuesday, with senior leaders exploring possible post-poll arrangements after the TVK fell short of securing a majority.A senior leader close to Palaniswami said, “We offered unconditional support for a stable government. For us, compromise can be made on anything, provided there is mutual respect. However, there has been no response from the TVK since Wednesday afternoon.”Talks between the two camps ended abruptly around Wednesday afternoon, soon after the Congress offered conditional support to the TVK, urging it to stay away from “communal forces that do not believe in the Constitution”.“Victory Is unresponsive. He insulted us. There has been no proper response to our voluntary support. Therefore, we canceled the talks. Now, we have to keep our bunch together and show our political experience,” said a senior AIADMK leader familiar with the developments.Sources said the AIADMK leadership was dissatisfied with the way TVK handled post-poll options, while remaining open to smaller parties may not be able to provide stability during a political crisis.
