OPS expelled from AIADMK, Palanisamy chosen as new CM

Less than a couple of hours after the Supreme Court upheld the lower court’s judgement and sent Sasikala to four years in jail, E Palanisamy has been elected as the Leader of AIADMK Legislature Party.

O Panneerselvam has been expelled from the primary membership of the party. All OPS loyalists, including Ma Foi Pandiarajan, Pandian and Ponnaiyan, were also sacked.

Palanisamy, a staunch Jayalalithaa loyalist, has written to Governor, staking claim to form the Government. The Governor is yet to take a stand on this matter. Meanwhile, OPS has appealed the MLAs to come along with him and save AIADMK from disintegration.

Sasikala will soon surrender before the Cops. She will be taken to Bengaluru to serve her sentence. However, her party would file a review petition in the Supreme Court soon.
