Amid the intense tussle between AIADMK leaders O. Panneerselvam and Edappadi K. Palaniswami over the party’s leadership, V.K. Sasikala, the aide of former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa and former interim general secretary of the party, on Sunday started a road show in Tiruvallur district, trying to drum up support.
Calling it ‘Puratchi Payanam’ (a revolutionary journey) to “defend the rights of Tamil soil and the dignity of women”, Ms. Sasikala, taking the front seat of her van displaying an AIADMK flag, left her T. Nagar residence in Chennai and stopped at many places in neighbouring Tiruvallur district to interact with her supporters. She also offered worship at the Murugan Temple at Tiruttani.
