Chennai:Tamil Nadu's former Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam on Thursday said the AIADMK government under Edappadi K. Palaniswami will be thrown out soon.


Minutes after launching his rebellion against VK Sasikala, O Panneerselvam has been removed from the post of AIADMK treasurer, news agency PTI reported on Wednesday. Dindigul Sreenivasan has been appointed in his place. In a dramatic turn of events, the acting Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu said he was forced to resign and clear the way for Sasikala, who was made the legislative party head of the AIADMK on Sunday. Soon after the incident, an emergency meeting of senior AIADMK party leaders and ministers was held at Sasikala Natarajan’s Poes Garden residence.

Sasikala also projected a united face while waving supporters outside Poes Garden. She claimed that she did not force Panneerselvam to quit, describing the former’s allegation as incorrect. “No confusion or problem in our party, we are united like a family,” Sasikala Natarajan said. She also said that Panneerselvam is hand in glove with the DMK. “DMK is behind O Pannerselvam. In recent assembly session opposition leader and O Pannerselvam exchanged warmth, they were smiling at each other,” she said. IANS
