Chennai, May 12 -- Amid speculations of an AIADMK party split, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay visited the office of former Tamil Nadu minister CV Shanmugam on Tuesday, signalling a potential shift in the state's legislative alliances.

The visit comes at a time when the AIADMK is grappling with internal divisions, effectively splitting the party into two distinct camps, one led by Shanmugam and the other by former Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS).
