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. 

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,"

Earlier, the Election Commission ordered the temporary allocation of the double leaf symbol to Edappadi Palaniswami's team.

As we reported, the OPS faction has announced that it will withdraw its candidate Senthil Murugan and said that it will campaign for the ADMK's 'Two leaves' symbol, which will be secured by EPS. 

As both EPS and OPS are battling for the party's 'Two Leaves' symbol, the recent developments display that OPS will likely withdraw his candidate from the race. 

The Erode East bypoll has been scheduled to be held on February 7 and the last date to file the nomination papers is February 7.

Their rivalry has now sparked a battle for ADMK's trademark 'Two leaves' symbol ahead of the Erode East bypoll and it's certain that whoever wins the battle would possibly enjoy the symbol in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.

EPS and OPS would likely to contest in two different symbols and if that happens, we can witness an election without ADMK's Two leaves symbol on the ballot for the first time in several decades.
