Chennai: DMDK founder Vijayakanth, whose party was routed in the just-concluded Assembly polls, has held discussions with his senior party functionaries.
The actor-turned-politician held discussions with senior functionaries, including district secretaries, here but there was no word on what transpired at the meeting. He is expected to have taken stock of the situation in the wake of the drubbing. Vijayakanth, Opposition Leader in the previous Assembly, is likely to hold more consultations with his partymen.
Having been aggressively wooed by the DMK and BJP for a poll pact to face the 16 May Assembly elections, Vijaykanth's DMDK, however, aligned with the People'sfy Welfare Front, comprising MDMK, the Left parties and VCK. The Tamil Maanila Congress joined the combine later.
Facing the polls as the combine's Chief Ministerial candidate, Vijayakanth not only lost from Ulundurpet but also forfeited deposit by coming third after the AIADMK and DMK. His party, which contested the lion's share of 104 seats, drew a blank, its first rout in Assembly polls since 2006.
