Tamil Nadu Governor C Vidyasagar Rao today met Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, a day after 18 rebel AIADMK MLAs loyal to sidelined leader TTV Dhinakaran were disqualified under the anti-defection law.
During the 20-minute meeting, the governor is believed to have apprised the home minister about the current political developments in the southern state, officials said.

The Minister had earlier reiterated that the pending arrears of Rs 2152 crore to Tamil Nadu under the SSA programme would not be released until it accepted the NEP and implemented the three-language policy.
Keeping the heat on the Union Government over its rigid stand on the three-language formula and making it mandatory for the release of funds due for Tamil Nadu under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan(SSA) programme, Chief Minister MK Stalin on Wednesday warned that if imposition of Hindi is made compulsory, its destruction will become compulsory.
