Tamil Nadu's Opposition party ADMK has been bracing up a back-to-back trouble as two former ministers and senior leaders are in uphill battle over serious legal issues.
Edappadi Palaniswami has backtracked his decision and announced that the party's lone candidate in Karnataka would pull out from the contest, which would make ADMK come out of the race in Karnataka.
As Modi's Chennai visit is becoming a part of his outreach to the souther states, political observers say that Modi's meeting with EPS and OPS would have less impact on ADMK.
The conversation between the two has happened when senior ADMK leaders went to the actor's residence in Chennai to express their condolences to him for the demise of his father.
EPS won a crucial legal battle on Tuesday - March 28 in the Madras High Court where he defeated his rival O Panneerselvam (OPS) by getting a verdict backing his political elevation of becoming ADMK's general secretary.
With the political elevation, EPS is rising as the party's face and force after J Jayalalithaa. Though the climax is almost over, OPS tends to continue the story of infight by appealing against the high court's verdict.
