After meeting the DMDK leader, Rajinikanth met reporters where he said, "I paid visit to him to see how well he is recovering from his illness. The meeting has nothing to do with politics or seat sharing".

BJP leader Piyush Goyal on Wednesday met Vijayakanth to discuss seat sharing.

DMDK, which contested 14 seats in the BJP-led front in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, first demanded seats in 'double digits' from AIADMK.

After the ruling party firmly said it would not be possible, the DMDK demanded that it be treated on par with the PMK, which has been allocated seven constituencies plus a Rajya Sabha seat by the AIADMK.
