Aiadmk Leadership Crisis

In the tussle for control between the two top leaders of Tamil Nadu's main opposition party AIADMK, the Madras High Court is likely to decide today on a petition by O Panneerselvam to stall a meeting that his rival E Palaniswamy has called.

If the AIADMK legislature party survives its present crisis - a big If - the new leadership might stabilize. But the more probable scenario is that the split will persist.
