DMK behind Panneerselvam, all AIADMK legislators are united: Sasikala

Chennai, Feb 8
AIADMK General Secretary V.K.Sasikala on Wednesday said DMK was behind former Chief Minister O.Panneerselvam's revolt against her.

Speaking to reporters here Sasikala said all the party legislators were united as a single family.

She said DMK was behind Panneerselvam's action citing the bonhomie between him and DMK's Working President M.K.Stalin in the Assembly.

Sasikala dismissed Panneerselvam's charge that he was forced to quit and threatened and said Panneerselvam was prompted by DMK to level the charge.

On Tuesday night Panneerselvam made a dramatic statement that he was forced to resign as the Chief Minister.


Panneerselvam dismissed as AIADMK Treasurer


 The AIADMK party has removed former Chief Minister O.Panneerselvam as party's Treasurer with immediate effect, the party said on Wednesday.

The dismissal came hours after Panneerselvam said on Tuesday he was threatened and coerced to resign as the Chief Minister to pave way for General Secretary V.K.Sasikala to occupy the position.

Senior leaders and ministers met Sasikala at the Poes Garden residence of late J.Jayalalithaa on Tuesday night and the decision was taken to dismiss Panneerselvam.
