Palanisamy News

Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress today won a landslide victory in Bengal. The Chief Minister, however, lost to BJP's Suvendu Adhikari in Nandigram.

The name of VK Sasikala, the confidante of late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, has been "removed" from the voters' list without her knowledge and it is an "injustice", she has said through her legal counsel. She was sad about it, he said.

The AIADMK on Saturday asked the Election Commission to debar DMK MP and party deputy general secretary A Raja from campaigning for Tamil Nadu assembly election for "making vulgar and scandalous speeches" against Chief Minister Edappadi Palanisamy.

Tamil Nadu's Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam has indicated that though Chief Minister Edappadi Palanisami has categorically ruled out return of VK Sasikala to the party, he feels it can be considered.

Tamil Nadu's ruling AIADMK on Friday sacked spokesperson K.C. Palanisamy after he urged the party to back a no-confidence motion against the Modi government if it did not take a favourable stand on Cauvery.

O Panneerselvam, reduced to place-holder Chief Minister for the third time, seems set for more bad news after VK Sasikala's choice Edappadi Palaniswami was invited to form government. O Pandiarajan, who had backed his revolt against Ms Sasikala last week, has dropped big hints of a gharwapsi (homecoming).

Tamil Nadu will get its third Chief Minister in two months - E Palaniswami will take oath at 4:30 pm today, and must then prove his majority within 15 days. With this decision, Governor C Vidyasagar Rao has ruled in favour of the larger faction of the ruling AIADMK, which has been cleaved by dissent, owing to O Panneerselvam's refusal to quit the s...

Time up, VK Sasikala must surrender in Bengaluru right away, the Supreme Court has told the AIADMK chief, whose lawyers appealed for more time. Ms Sasikala is still in Chennai and will travel the 345 km to Bengaluru by road today escorted by the police from both Tamil Nadu and Karnataka to begin a four-year prison term ordered yesterday by the top ...

Within hours of being found guilty of corruption, VK Sasikala stepped on the gas to name a new leader for her party, the AIADMK. Edappadi K Palaniswami, 57, who is Minister of the Public Works Department, is the new chief of the ruling party of Tamil Nadu. He has written to Governor C Vidyasagar Rao asking for the chance to prove his majority in t...

As party chief VK Sasikla expelled him, Tamil Nadu's interim Chief Minister O Panneerselvam urged legislators of the ruling AIADMK to "sink differences, work together and keep the party united to continue Amma's good rule." He has sent a team of party leaders to the five-star resort near Chennai where Ms Sasikala has just had her loyalist and the s...

After she was found guilty by the Supreme Court for corruption, VK Sasikala, who has been ordered to serve a four-year sentence, took care of some important business for her party, the AIADMK, which governs Tamil Nadu. At a meeting presided by her, the party picked a new leader, minister Edappadi K.Palanisamy, who is trusted by her. The gathering ...

AIADMK general secretary VK Sasikala has been ordered to serve a four-year jail term in a 21-year-old disproportionate assets case by the Supreme Court, ending her wait for an invitation from Tamil Nadu's Raj Bhavan to take over as the chief minister. She will, instead, go to jail. The court did not rule on charges against former chief minister J J...
