More second line leaders and functionaries in the AIADMK on Sunday came out publicly in favour of migrating to “unitary leadership”, even as senior leaders continued their efforts to broker an acceptable deal between the party’s top two leaders— coordinator O. Panneerselvam and co-coordinator Edappadi K. Palaniswami.
For the second day, former Ministers K.A. Sengottaiyan, M. Thambidurai and Sellur Raju shuttled between the houses of both the leaders on the Greenways Road in Chennai and held parleys. But functionaries, who had chosen to express their views openly, came out strongly in favour of unitary leadership and Mr. Palaniswami.
