Palaniswami said, "Sasikala is not a member of ADMK and doesn't exercise any links with the party. ADMK's deputy coordinator KP Munusamy and I had made it very clear."

It was Palaniswami's first meet since he became the Opposition Leader of the state assembly. However, his first meet had showered a strong light that the party is still exercising a political divide. 

The Stalin administration has permitted the former Chief Minister to be a tenant of the government's residence after his request to continue his stay. 

Her primary membership with the party has been repealed and the leaders have directed the party cadres not to exercise contact with the expelled leader. 

He was under treatment in Trivandrum a couple of months ago. Last month, he had tested positive for the COVID-19 viral infection and was getting treated at his home. 

The DMK-led alliance has attained a remarkable victory in the Tamil Nadu assembly polls and Stalin is all set to become the Chief Minister for the first time. 

He highlighted that the state has the second biggest caseload in South India and the Center's order to divert the oxygen from the state has no justification. 

The Chief Minister had also undergone the testing for the viral infection and the results returned negative post which he was prepared for the procedure.

Criticism against Raja has been growing with the demand to place an apology and the Chennai police had booked him under three sections of the Indian Penal Code.

Raja's comments were shared on social media and they had invited fresh trouble for DMK, leaving its rival to display how the party respects women.
