In the first session after the Madras High Court canceled the election of Theni MP OP Ravindranth, the AIADMK leader said that he will be attending the meeting with floor leaders of parties constituting the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) for conversing on important issues to be discussed at the Parliament on Wednesday. The MP said that he also received an invite to attend the meeting from Minister Prahlad Joshi.
On Wednesday, Theni MP OP Ravindhranath said, “As the monsoon session of Parliament is set to begin on Thursday, I have been invited on behalf of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led by PM Modi to attend the consultative meeting chaired by Narendra Modi ji to discuss the bills, special features and others as a representative from AIADMK and to provide advice.”

Earlier, Ravindranath was invited to the consultative meet by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Prahlad Joshi. In the letter, Prahlad said, “It is my pleasure to invite you for a meeting with Floor Leaders of Parties constituting the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) for discussing important issues and business for the ensuing Monsoon Session of the Parliament on Wednesday, the 19 July, 2023 at 5:30 p.m. in Room No. G-074, Parliament Library Building, New Delhi in the gracious presence and guidance of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji. I request you to kindly make it convenient to attend the meeting.”
On July 6, Madras High Court annulled the election of AIADMK MP OP Ravindranth from Theni. The order was passed by Justice SS Sundar. Ravindranath was the only MP from AIADMK in Lok Sabha.
However, the Court withheld the order's operation in order to facilitate Ravindranath to file an appeal.
