EPS-OPS camps sack Sasikala as general secretary of AIADMK

Chennai, Sep 12 (IBNS): After a months-long political drama in Tamil Nadu, the two camps of AIADMK led by E Palaniswamy and O Paneerselvam, sacked V.K. Sasikala as the interim general secretary of the party, media reports said.

Sasikala, now in jail in corruption case, had become the interim general secretary following former Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalitha's death. She has been sacked by the OPS-EPS camps after passing a resolution.

However, she has not been expelled from the party.

The ongoing political drama in TN and also inside AIADMK will further deepen if Sasikala's nephew Dinakaran withdraws the support of his own camp which could lead the party fall short of the majority to form the government.
