AIADMK interim general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Monday skipped the issue of power struggle with the camp led by the party’s former coordinator, O. Panneerselvam.
Addressing a meeting of senior functionaries, legislators and district secretaries at the party headquarters in Chennai, Mr. Palaniswami made a passing reference to the effect that internal affairs of the party need not be discussed in public, according to a section of office-bearers. Apart from this, he did not touch upon any other issue concerning internal affairs of the party, including the legal battle with the rival group and his meeting with Union Minister Amit Shah last month.
He urged his party colleagues to highlight, in the Assembly, the “failure” of the DMK regime on various fronts and “achievements” of his party while in power.
