EPS won a crucial legal battle on Tuesday - March 28 in the Madras High Court where he defeated his rival O Panneerselvam (OPS) by getting a verdict backing his political elevation of becoming ADMK's general secretary.

As his supporters see EPS as the party's face and force, they are celebrating his elevation across the state by exchanging sweets and smiles.

With the political elevation, EPS is rising as the party's face and force after J Jayalalithaa. Though the climax is almost over, OPS tends to continue the story of infight by appealing against the high court's verdict. 

OPS stated that a large meeting would be held in Trichy in the second week of April, after which he would meet supporters from all the districts. 

When EPS is moving closer to get elected as the party's general secretary, which is the highest post, OPS has once again pulled judiciary to the table to curb the elevation of EPS. 

Palaniswami's elevation as the general secretary is one of the top agendas that the party leaders discussed at the meeting that was held on Thursday - March 9 in Chennai.

BJP's IT wing has had a huge hit as part of this exodus as the functionaries who defected the party belong to the IT wing, which was once buidling momentum for Annamalai's leadership.

MK Stalin campaigned for the DMK-backing Congress candidate EVKS Elangovan and EPS has wooed voters to support ADMK's candidate Thennarasu. 

For OPS whose political career is getting smashed, the demise of his mother had poured a sense of melancholy.

"The tour will begin imminently. We will request justice and fairness district by district and when we meet people, we reveal numerous secrets that held for long,"
