Edappadi Palaniswami and the ADMK functionaries were staging a protest in Valluvar Kottam in Chennai for condemning what they called a murder of democracy in the state.
Ayyadurai was previously the CEO of one of Gujarat's top power generation companies and is from Shankarankovil in the Tenkasi district. Even though the AIADMK extended numerous invitations, Ayyadurai Pandyan joined the DMK in 2018.
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.
The Edappadi side has been dealt a severe blow by this decision, whereas the O. Panneerselvam party is commemorated by lighting fireworks and giving out treats.
OPS is planning to reap the support from VK Sasikala and TTV Dhinakaran and he has called them to join his side for a strong pull in the tug-of-war to defeat EPS.
The party release by Palaniswami stated that Udhayakumar, representing the Tirumangalam Assembly constituency, was elected as deputy leader of the Opposition.
