Leader of the Opposition Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Sunday alleged that some “traitors”, in a tacit alliance with the ruling DMK, were attempting to split the AIADMK.
Addressing party cadre, who gave him a rousing welcome near the airport , Mr. Palaniswami said loyal cadre of the AIADMK were upset over the indecorous act of former Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam making a forceful entry into the party headquarters in Chennai and orchestrating violence with a group of hooligans. The AIADMK, which was working for the poor and downtrodden since its inception, was vibrant. None could destablilise the party.
Their dream would never fructify and the cadre would give him (Mr. Panneerselvam) a fitting lesson for having a “tacit understanding” with the DMK, Mr. Palaniswami said without directly naming anybody.
