Earlier, Panneerselvam and a few other ministers had a meeting Sasikala at the Poes Garden residence of late Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa, where Chinnamma continues to live.
The agenda of the meeting, however, was not disclosed to the AIADMK legislators.
It was being speculated that the meeting was aimed at discussion over government's activities, issues regarding the various constituencies and the way in which Jayalalithaa's birth anniversary on February 24 will be celebrated.
