Selfie time: Mr. Stalin said as far as the DMK was concerned, there was no confusion about the chief ministerial candidate
DMK president M.K. Stalin on Tuesday said there was confusion in the ruling AIADMK about the Chief Ministerial candidate and it would lead to the party’s split.
“We do not know when the AIADMK will split. What is certain is that it will split,” he said while addressing a gathering in Ananthalai panchayat that comes under the Ranipet Assembly constituency.
Mr. Stalin said there was a battle between Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami and Deputy Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam on who should be the Chief Ministerial candidate and that they decided in favour of Mr. Palaniswami after a meeting. “In the last two days, the [some] AIADMK Ministers say that the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi would decide the Chief Minister. It is not clear when Mr. Panneerselvam will leave the party,” he said.
