After Muthiah won the 1991 polls, he was made the Speaker of the Tamil Nadu Assembly and notably, Muthiah was the second power leader in ADMK until 1998. 

The party leaders including ADMK's interim General Secretary Edappadi Palaniswami paid tribute to the deceased veteran and expressed their condolences to his family. 

Edappadi Palaniswami has condemned the DVAC raids against the two former ministers and alleged that the DMK government is framing false cases against the ADMK leaders.

The agency has raided several former ADMK ministers under various corruption charges and in the latest episode, two former ADMK ministers SP Velumani and C Vijayabaskar have come under the scanner.

The latest order in favour of EPS has also bestowed the tag of legality on the ADMK's General Council meeting that was held on July 11.

While both the leaders are hoping to have support from their community, the latest trouble that Sasikala is facing would put OPS in a setback, again. 

The state cabinet meeting was convened by MK Stalin on Monday during which it was decided to place the report before the Tamil Nadu Assembly.

Arukutty was one of the notable leaders of ADMK and his political switchover to the DMK is expected to significantly aid the latter in its growth in the ADMK's stronghold.

DMK has been assaying to build a strong base by breaking ADMK's citadel. Arukutty's switchover to DMK is expected to serve the party's objective in the west.

The volunteer movement will not be split, despite anyone's attempts. Regime-like behavior has no place in a party. Everyone needs to come together, and party defectors must come back.
