They were taken to the Secretariat campus and kept in the strong room. Tamil Nadu has 39 Lok Sabha MPs, 18 Rajya Sabha MPs and 234 MLAs. While the AIADMK-led alliance has announced its support to NDA presidential candidate Droupadi Murmu, the DMK-led alliance has decided to back former Union Minister Yashwant Sinha's candidature.
