AIADMK expels over 150 office-bearers
O Panneerselvam
The members have been expelled from their present posts and have also lost AIADMK’s primary membership.
In the wake of loss faced in the December's RK Nagar bypoll, the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) has expelled over 150 office-bearers.
Deputy Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Panneerselvam and Chief Minister Palaniswami issued a joint statement stating that the move was taken against the party members who acted in "contravention to the party's policies and ideals," and for "bringing disrepute" to it.
Former Minister G Senthamizhan and senior leader Parithi Ilamvazhuthi were also among those expelled. The expelled office-bearers belonged to the party’s South Chennai (South) and Cuddalore West units.
Both Senthamizhan and Ilamvazhuthi are the supporters of TTV Dhinakaran who won the December 21 RK Nagar bypoll.
The members have been expelled from their present posts and have also lost AIADMK’s primary membership.
Palaniswami and Panneerselvam merged their respective factions in August 2017. The leaders also warned of action against those who would go against the party.
