Anbumani, Ramadoss Meeting Fails to Resolve PMK Rift
Anbumani, a leader in the PMK party, met with his father, Ramadoss, hoping to fix their disagreements.
They talked for nearly an hour, but it seems they didn't fully agree on how to run the party.
One big issue is who gets to make the important decisions.
Some people are also wondering if the party will keep working with the BJP.
The meeting was held amid speculations of the ongoing rift.
It is unclear if the differences will be resolved.
Anbumani Ramadoss met with his father S. Ramadoss at the Thailapuram farmhouse.
The meeting aimed to resolve differences within the PMK but did not yield a solution.
