If he decides to include the AIADMK in the Cabinet, we will reconsider our support," said Shanmugam, indicating unease within sections of the coalition government.What's happening around AIADMKThe remarks come after a faction of the 47-seat winner AIADMK — comprising 25 MLAs led by S P Velumani and C Ve Shanmugam — supported Vijay's TVK ahead of the trust vote on May 11.
