No immediate merger with AIADMK, hints OPS camp

Chennai, Aug 19 (IBNS): The O Paneerselvam camp has hinted that there is no immediate merger in AIADMK, according to NDTV.

The OPS camp said the cadres won't accept E Palaniswamy as the Chief Minister of the state.

After the demise of former TN CM J Jayalalitha, the AIADMK was divided into camps in a bitter power struggle. While one camp is led by Paneerselvam, TN CM E Palaniswamy heads the other.

While O Panneerselvam was the interim CM of the state after Jayalalitha's death, AIADMK general secretary VK Sasikala wanted to become the CM.

Though Sasikala was later convicted in her disproportionate assets case and was jailed, her fielded member E Palaniswami became the CM of the state.

Both Palaniswamy and Paneerselvam met Prime Minister Narendra Modi individually recently to discuss about the Tamil Nadu politics and merger of the AIADMK.
