Chennai: In a further set back to the faction led by jailed AIADMK leader VK Sasikala and her nephew TTV Dinakaran, three of their supporting Members of Parliament on Monday switched loyalties to the ruling faction led by Chief Minister K Palaniswami and Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam.

According to AIADMK, the three Rajya Sabha members - A Navaneethakrishnan, Vijila Satyanand (Tamil Nadu) and N. Gokulakrishnan (Puducherry)- met Palaniswami at his home and extended their support.
