The rival factions of AIADMK have finally decided to unite and have come to terms on a few set conditions. This includes accepting O. Panneerselvam as the Chief Minister of the Tamil Nadu state and the present CM E. Palaniswami as the general secretary of the AIADMK party in place of V.K. Sasikala.

A senior AIADMK official, speaking to a popular news daily said, “The merger deal has been sealed and formal talks will begin now between the senior leaders of both factions to finalize and announce the decision. Palaniswami will step down for Panneerselvam, and become the party chief. Health Minister C. Vijayabaskar, whose properties were raided by the Income Tax officials, may be dropped from the cabinet. Former minister and MLA Senthil Balaji may be inducted along with one or two more faces from southern Tamil Nadu.”

According to reports, this decision of merger was taken by AIADMK Amma and giving OPS the role of CM was ‘the vulnerable state of the government.’ The majority mark of assembly is 122 MLAs and a revolt by these will bring down the present government and hence it was mandated to come to terms.

Amidst this V.K.Sasikala and her kin were evicted from the party. Also, T.T.V. Dinakaran was forced to resign from the post of Deputy General Secretary. He is also set to appear before the Delhi police on charges of bribing the Election Commission. In the last week, it came to light that T.T.V. Dinakaran had, through his agents, tried to bribe the EC and buy back the ‘two leaves’ symbol of the AIADMK party for which the Delhi Police filed a FIR against him.
