Election Commission to hear AIADMK's 'two leaves symbol' case today
The Election Commission will hear all the factions including Dinakaran, who has been sidelined by the recently unified EPS-OPS camps.
The dispute over the symbol began after the death of former Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalitha.
The power tussle began when VK Sasikala, who became the interim AIADMK general secretary after Jayalalitha's death, expressed her ambition to become the CM of the state.
Sasikala is presently serving a jail term in a disproportionate assets case.
Earlier, there were four factions in the party, O Paneerselvam, E Palaniswamy, Sasikala's nephew Dinakaran and Jayalalitha's niece Deepa Jayakumar.
After the merger of the OPS-EPS camps recently, now there are three factions in the party to hold their claims on the symbol.
The EC is expected to announce its decision by the end of October.
