As many as 26 ministers met at the Electricity Minister Thangamani's official residence on Greenways Road in Chennai since late evening.
A separate meeting was under way at the bungalow of Housing Minister Udumalai Radhakrishnan, in which a few ministers participated. Later, they joined the meeting at Thangamani's residence.
