Three-time All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam Chief Minister O Panneerselvam, who was expelled from the party in 2022, joined the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam in the presence of Chief Minister M K Stalin.
Panneerselvam, a trusted confidant of late AIADMK supremo J Jayalalithaa, after unsuccessfully struggling for over 3 years to join his parent outfit again, joined the DMK.
This move follows recent praise by the OPS camp for Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin and prediction related to return of DMK government in the state. Earlier on Friday, Tamil Nadu MLA P Ayyappan, who is seen as part of former CM O Paneerselvam’s camp, expressed his desire to see M. Stalin lead the state again following the next assembly polls.
Ayyappan stated in the Assembly that M K Stalin must once again become the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. With the blessings of Puratchi Thalaivar M. G. Ramachandran and Puratchi Thalaivi Amma J. Jayalalithaa, and with the good wishes of our elder brother O. Panneerselvam, I extend my thanks. He further said, “The Breakfast Scheme was introduced with a visionary outlook. For small children’s who come to primary schools, the Chief Minister provides hot meals like a mother.” –
