Panneerselvam Jayalalithaa

Former Tamil Nadu Deputy chief minister O Panneerselvam today hinted at the reunion with All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) when he said that the party could grow only if "we reunite".

Putting an end to the dual-leadership model in the AIADMK, Edappadi K Palaniswami, also known as EPS, was today elevated as the interim general secretary of the party. Rival leader O Panneerselvam or OPS has been expelled for "anti-party" activities.

After the demise of J Jayalalithaa in 2016, the party has been following a dual-leadership formula with Mr Palaniswami (known as EPS) as co-coordinator and Mr Panneerselvam (or OPS) as coordinator.

The testimony of senior officials ruling out conspiracy by VK Sasikala or her family against late Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa is correct, AIADMK top leader O Panneerselvam said here on Tuesday in his deposition before an inquiry panel.

To mark former chief minister J Jayalalithaa's birth anniversary, Tamil Nadu government gifted gold rings to newborn babies today.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami and Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam paid tributes at the Jayalalithaa Memorial at Marina Beach in Chennai, on the third death anniversary of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and AIADMK leader.

After a delay of six years, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami led the ground-breaking ceremony for an additional desalination plant at Nemmeli, in the outskirts of Chennai, on Thursday. This comes at the height of the worst drought Chennai has seen in decades.

The deaths of two of the biggest icons of Dravidian politics have brought a sea change in Tamil Nadu's politics. In a span of less than three years, Tamil Nadu has lost both J Jayalalithaa and M Karunanidhi, leaving the state in the hands of the GenNext - E Palaniswami and O Panneerselvam on one side and MK Stalin on the other.

Tamil Nadu's ruling AIADMK, which has an alliance with the BJP for the national election, says ideologically it doesn't believe in the caste system or religious differences and wants an India in which minorities are protected.

The ruling AIADMK in Tamil Nadu, which has for long attacked the DMK for dynastic politics, seems to be following the same route while fielding candidates for the Lok Sabha polls. The party has nominated sons of its leaders including O Panneerselvam for the April 18 polls.

Tamil Nadu's first national election after the death of two colossal figures in Dravidian politics - former Chief Ministers J Jayalalithaa and M Karunanidhi -- is likely to be an acid test of the leadership of E Palaniswami and his rival-turned deputy O Panneerselvam and the gen-next in the DMK.

Distribution of welfare aid, gold rings to newborns and medical camps marked the 71st birth anniversary celebrations of late AIADMK supremo J Jayalalithaa by the ruling party across Tamil Nadu on Sunday.

The AIADMK and the BJP almost finalised an electoral deal for the Lok Sabha polls in Tamil Nadu after late night talks between Union Minister Piyush Goyal and two state ministers, but they are yet to reach an agreement on seat-sharing.

Late AIADMK leader J Jayalalithaa's name was generously invoked during the presentation of Tamil Nadu budget Friday by Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam, saying she continues to be the "guiding beacon and a guardian" of the state government.
