The AIADMK has entered into an electoral pact with Puthiya Tamizhagam (PT), which will allow the latter to contest from one Lok Sabha constituency in Tamil Nadu, Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam said on Saturday.

Announcing the tie-up, he said the PT will also support the ruling party in the by-elections for 21 Assembly constituencies.

PT leader K Krishnasamy made it clear that his party will not contest under the AIADMK's two leaves symbol.
