AIADMK Leadership Dispute: OPS Challenges EPS to Step Down

Expelled AIADMK leader O Panneerselvam rejected Edappadi K Palaniswami's claims of him orchestrating an attack on party headquarters. OPS urged EPS to step down or face disrespect, highlighting the lack of electoral success under his leadership. The conflict stems from a leadership tussle post-2021 assembly polls.

Expelled AIADMK leader O Panneerselvam has categorically denied allegations by party chief Edappadi K Palaniswami, claiming he led an attack on the party's headquarters.

OPS has urged Palaniswami to resign from his position as general secretary, citing the absence of electoral victories under his leadership. Panneerselvam argued that only unity could ensure AIADMK's future success.

Palaniswami alleged OPS led a disruptive group to the headquarters. Their leadership conflict escalated post-2021 assembly elections, leading to Panneerselvam's expulsion in July 2022.
