O Panneerselvam Camp

In a significant development that could consolidate the position of EdappadiK Palaniswami in AIADMK, the rival faction led by O Panneerselvam has announced to opt out of the race in the February 27 by-election in Erode East Assembly constituency.

In a jolt for the rebel AIADMK camp led by O Panneerselvam or OPS, the Supreme Court today refused to stay the July 11 decision of the party's General Council meeting expelling OPS from the party.

The hoarding, featuring PM Narendra Modi and Amit Shah has been put up here by the rebel AIADMK leader O Panneerselvam's (OPS) camp.

O Panneerselvam, leader of the rebel AIADMK camp, on Monday appointed his loyalist R Vaithilingam as the party's joint coordinator and 'expelled' 10 office-bearers.

Ahead of the General Council meet scheduled to take place on Monday, the Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS) camp of All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) held a discussion at his residence in Tamil Nadu.

Hitting out at the rival Edappadi K Palaniswami camp, AIADMK leader O Panneerselvam, also known as OPS,on Sunday said "cadres are on my side", and asserted that people and party workers would punish his detractors.

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 result of the by-election for Chennai's RK Nagar assembly constituency, which fell vacant after the death of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa last December, were declared today. Independent candidate TTV Dhinakaran, who was sidelined from the AIADMK by the EPS and OPS faction, won the prestigious and much-sought-after RK Nagar as...

In a further setback to sidelined AIADMK leader TTV Dhinakaran, two Lok Sabha MPs representing Vellore and Dindigul constituencies in Tamil Nadu today joined the ruling camp.

The O Panneerselvam and the E Palaniswami camps, which merged recently, today staked claim over the AIADMK and its 'two leaves' election symbol before the Election Commission (EC), claiming support of a majority of lawmakers and party cadre.

The inquiry commission set up to probe former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa's death in a Chennai hospital last year will also investigate the circumstances that led to the AIADMK matriarch's hospitalisation in September last year.

111 AIADMK lawmakers turned up at a show of strength meeting convened by Chief Minister E Palaniswami, or EPS, on Tuesday but Tamil Nadu's ruling party AIADMK insisted that nine rebel legislators led by TTV Dhinakaran have extended support in-absentia, to support Chief Minister EPS.

A week after the two warring camps of E Palaniswami and O Panneerselvam put aside their differences and merged, the United AIADMK has set its eyes on the party's two mouthpieces - Jaya TV and the daily publication Namadhu MGR - which are currently under the control of sidelined and jailed party chief VK Sasikala's family, who they plan to expel soo...

After months of hard negotiations and several false starts, as two rival factions of Tamil Nadu's ruling AIADMK announced a merger, dissent rose from 18 party lawmakers who are opposed to the decision to expel VK Sasikala. The lawmakers say they will meet the Governor tomorrow to decide on their next course of action - a comment that is seen as a p...

A day after an expected merger between rival factions of Tamil Nadu's ruling AIADMK party ran into last-minute turbulence, former chief minister O Panneerselvam, popularly known as OPS, kept hopes alive. "Talks are going on smoothly and in another two days, you can expect good news," he said, referring to the other camp led by his successor E Palan...
