Former AIADMK leader TTV Dhinakaran has claimed that Tamil Nadu's Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam or OPS had met him last year "with an intention" to join hands with him. He also claimed that last week Mr Panneerselvam again sent word to meet him, this time reportedly to unseat Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami, also known as EPS. "In the meeting OPS expressed regret for his dharma yudham (war) against us. My party functionaries knew about the meeting. Even last week he sent out word for a meeting. He wanted to join hands against EPS and offered to make me the Chief Minister," Mr Dhinakaran alleged.
