On Friday, DMDK legislators R. Sundarrajan, representing Madurai Central, and K. Tamil Azhagan from Tittagudi constituency, met Jayalalithaa at the state secretariat.
On Saturday it was the turn of S. Michael Rayappan (Radhapuram constituency) and C. Arun Pandian (Peravurani constituency) to meet the AIADMK general secretary.
All the four legislators who had met Jayalalithaa maintained that they had discussed only the welfare activities of their constituencies.
