All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) interim general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami has sacked the two sons of political rival O Panneerselvam (OPS) and his 16 other supporters from the party.
OPS and three others were expelled from AIADMK and Palaniswami, also known as EPS, was elected as its interim General Secretary in the General Council meeting of July 11 amid the tussle for the control of the party.
Days after this, EPS expelled OPS’ sons Raveendranath, AIADMK’s Lok Sabha MP from Theni constituency, and Jeyapradeep, as well as former Minister Vellamandi N Natarajan. Natarajan is the Tiruchirappalli-based party strongman who sided with OPS.
